I can resonate to the other end of the spectrum here. I've did projects and never focused on DSA. However, I'm self taught from 6th standard in school, in 2006. So my basics there were good enough. In 2009 I made a tool to convert BAT files in EXEs, and by 2011 I learned Java, C++ and C# on my own. I even attempted to clone Game Maker from Mark Overmars back then. I didn't like Turbo C++ in college, so I wrote my own IDE during my second year. Primitive one, but writing GUIs in C++ was a fantastic experience, it gave me a good kick. I contributed JNI bindings to Assimp library into LWJGL project in my 3rd year, wrote a translation layer that implements OpenAL specification for 3D Spatial Audio Playback on top of Web Audio API and even wrote my basic 3D game engine. By final year, it even got 100 stars on GitHub. My final project was the Game Maker clone I wanted to make since childhood. I went low level, and I learned to hand write 32-bit assembly using NASM and I actually learned to make sense of C calling conventions. I explored every domain, I did Web Dev, my website is written completely by me from scratch. I did backend dev, my first internship was in NodeJS and Express and I did Spring in my first job for a week before moving internally into Android. I even did iOS as well. Having said that, I never did DSA full fledged until the last year. I never applied to big tech, but I did get plenty of callbacks from startups. In my last 5 years, I attempted 14 companies and got 12 offers. But then, I feel now, that I should've started DSA even earlier. I didn't even know it was a thing. I only found out about LeetCode after getting my first job. So what my 5 years of experience taught me from startups, is that as long as you're learning, and you're properly showcasing your stuff in a portfolio, you'll get calls. Fun fact, until last year, I had a 3 page resume where I featured 7 projects. Open Source will help you build credibility.

Listening to Striver, I feel I also did the mistake of becoming one directional. I always thought DSA and CP will get me an intern in my third year. But here I am sitting at my house in the summers of my Third Year, when others are grinding in their interns. I did become Expert on Codeforces and 2000+ on Leetcode, but I never really did development and I realised if I had invested some time in development I could have an intern. But we all make mistakes, the good part is now I have realised it. I still have 3 more months for my placement season to begin, and I hope I can get a placement at one of the leading companies. From now on I will invest my time in DSA, CP and Development. Oh, I cant forget about the CS Fundaments. Thanks striver for teaching and guiding us, will come back to this comment after my placements.

You are right, bhaiya. You are absolutely right! I am in my 2nd year of college and I will accept the fact that I have been very random in learning things. I learnt basics in Python, web development (basic) , I was doing a project on Linux but didn't complete it because I was keen on learning Android development and I did learn it ,but it took me a lot of time . Also have participated in Google cloud campaigns . I had a hard time settling in the tier 3 college I had got so I prepared for JEE again in my first year and though it was just okay and it didn't help much , but that put a problem in the college performance in the first year. In case of DSA , I have basic theoretical understanding but I haven't coded in the online platforms. So the crux is that I have a basic idea of a lot of things but am confident in neither. So I have been trying to learn DSA, and make my Android app and I would eventually complete on the Linux project ( I am progressing okay) but then I realised that yes, I need to speak up where I am having problems and at the same time what am I doing good at , as well. Craving perfection in mind and just doing nothing in reality makes no sense. I need some guidance from my fellow peers as to how can I do good in DSA and more . I want to Target for internships soon as well. Can I solely focus on his (Striver's) A2Z DSA sheet? For I thought I need to recap things from basic and then proceed on it. Open to constructive criticism as well.

Hello striver, I am a second year BTech student from a tier-3 college, soon to become a 3rd year student. I started programming then DSA in 1st year, and went to learn software development and participate in hackathons and dev communities in 2nd year, and thus was unable to continue DSA in 2nd year due to much involvement in only software development, since it takes a ton of my time. I want to know how can I always keep my DSA practice on track and uplevel it, with continuing these regular software development stuff, so that I can crack a good job in my final year (especially in these hard times) ? Any suggestions, please.

Does anyone have any sort of advise for me, In the meantime I am grinding leetcode. Please dont' ask why you didn't go for placement in 2021 itself. Thing is I was perparing for government exams initially. Now I have also exhausted my attempts for AFCAT and I am already 25 years old. I'll be really thankful for any advise from anyone.

[@nehalpradhan2229]

same here. I am 2021 pass out, college life was ruined because of health reasons and covid, tried GATE after that, didn't went well. Now i am focusing on my skills, but these news about current job market make me nervous, and only causes stress. I stopped watching all interview videos, it only adds to the stress, i don't even want to watch this video, because it makes me feel like shit about myself. one advise would be to pick a tech stack and build projects, i am doing same, only DSA might not work. because of year gaps, we have to show what else can we do.

[@frickofunky2008]

@@nehalpradhan2229 You're correct tbh, Have you weighed in other options ? Let's think logically, since you're a 2021 passout you can still expect openings because I have seen a couple of openings where even 2021 passouts can still apply. I have also seen openings where 2020 passouts like me can apply too, but here's the catch they never revert back. I'm assuming it's because of the current situation in the market. For me the options are - continue looking for job until the end of the year, if things don't work out. I'll try to look for placement through some agency or company. If even that doesn't work out then I'll probably do Mtech or else move to foreign country maybe Canada. I think I'll also develop some coding skills so after I move I shouldn't really have too much of a problem looking for work.This is what I have thought so far. What about you?

[@nehalpradhan2229]

@@frickofunky2008 yes you can do mtech, but gate is required in india, or do it outside country, which is better because GATE takes lot of preparation. options are limited in india - one option could be like you said to join online courses like pay after placement etc but it's not guaranteed, but at the same time people have done it and got placed. - another option could be to do Open source and be good at it which will again take time but will have huge benefit if done right. - third option that is to work on skills and projects and just hope for the best, which i am doing. from what i've seen skills matter most and if you have projects to prove it, things will be a lot easier. even people who haven't done any serious development and don't have relevant experience in service based companies do the same, they build their skills and apply for other companies, which works these days.

Also you're correct about developing skills, That's what I am doing right now. I'm decent enough at DSA to solve medium level problems in stacks,arrays,LL's, haven't touched dynamic programming, graphs etc but I think I won't be needing those topics as much. The main problem is the projects because honestly I don't really remember my college project, it's been 3 years so probably will be needing some.
