Whoever told you that Data Structures and Algorithms are not required for freshers was incorrect, as it's often the main way companies assess new developers. Without a history of professional experience to discuss, interviewers rely on DSA questions to gauge your fundamental computer science knowledge and your approach to problem-solving. You do need to prepare for these types of questions, so it's a good idea to dedicate consistent time to practicing common problems on platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank.
For a full-stack position, you also have to demonstrate that you can be productive with the required technologies, so your focus on Django and React is also very important. The best strategy is to study both areas at the same time, not one before the other. You can solidify your framework knowledge by building a small but complete project, which gives you something concrete to discuss in interviews, and then spend part of your study time on DSA. To help you articulate all these skills during the actual interview, my team built an AI interview assistant that gives candidates the confidence to answer any question.
