It’s good for both engineers and companies if companies try to ask more questions related to role instead of throwing a bunch of hard leetcode problems and congrats on new role 🙌

Hello, Sanket Sir. Can I solve DSA questions using JavaScript in interviews like Microsoft or Google? I Don't know ,C++ or Python ,

Yess u can absolutely but they expect javascript DSA for Frontend Reactjs roles specifically and back-end nodejs expressjs roles or full stack mern or mean roles I think 🤔
