What should I learn first web development or ds with ml? Now I am btech 2nd year CSE student and I have little bit knowledge programming, but I am still new to this! So plz, give me right suggestions, I know that it upto my interest but I am confused!

[@mohdsahil159]

@@rahuldangi124 First learn data structure of C++ or Java , then solve the question on leetcode.. and practice it atleast 6 months... When you are good in DSA then learn web devlopment (html, css , javascript) for making projects.

Hi Ashish, I really need some assistance with my technical background can you please help me with the correct technical path.

Very inspiring brother. I am thrilled and motivated by your journey. I had similar dreams but couldn't stick to the path. Kudos to you!!!

[@tejasness]

Thanks bro for sharing your experience. some so called system design guru's made lot of hype of of system design. but what i see in your experience is problem solving, coding, algorithamic professiency is crucial.

[@shamsulhaque55]

All these MAANG employees have youtube channels and believe me, its all useless if you are watching them instead of practicing. Did they ever mention that they used to watch motivation video of certain company employee ? Never. Because they focused on right things and now want you to watch their video so they grow more, there is nothing for you.

Thanks Ashish, i was honestly crying before searching on KZbin "coding" i was feeling lost as things would very quickly get very hard and I would get distracted.

One thing that I have seen in my college placement is that all those companies who offer package of around 3 - 6 Lakhs ask DSA way difficult then most product based companies, one would expect if they are paying less salary they would ask easy problem but that's not the case, I found that they are asking DP, Graph based question of medium to hard level, whereas companies that offer package more then 10 LPA generally ask these topic as well but medium level, so conclusion is that even if u want a low salary company u have to learn DSA

that's unfortunate to hear.
