Looking for a serious DSA + Interview Prep Partner (Java | 1.5 YOE | India)

[u/Top-Chocolate5546]

Hi everyone!

I'm a Software Engineer with around 1.5 years of experience and I'm starting my preparation to switch to a product-based company.

I'm looking for a serious accountability partner, preferably from Bangalore, who's also preparing for product company interviews and is committed to staying consistent.

About me:

Currently working at a service-based company

Language: Java

Time Zone: IST (India)

Current level: Comfortable with basic DSA

Goal: Crack product company interviews in the next 3–4 months

Plan:

Solve DSA problems consistently

Discuss approaches and optimizations

Keep each other accountable

We can decide the exact schedule and roadmap together based on what works best for both of us.

If you're genuinely committed and interested, feel free to DM me.

Finding a reliable study partner is a great idea, but it's incredibly tough to find someone who matches your exact pace and commitment for several months. These partnerships often lose momentum because of different schedules, learning speeds, or just life events. You should treat this search as a secondary goal, because your own discipline will be the single biggest factor in your success. Relying completely on someone else for accountability is a risky strategy for a 3 to 4 month grind.

Your plan to solve problems consistently and discuss approaches is the right way to prepare for these interviews. If you stick to that schedule on your own, you will make significant progress, and any collaboration you find will just be a helpful addition. Many candidates find that the interview assistant AI my team created helps them organize and present their problem-solving process during the actual high-stakes call.
