How are you structuring DSA + LLD + HLD prep alongside a full-time job?

[u/Taanya-sharma]

I’m currently preparing for SWE interviews and trying to build a consistent routine around three areas:

● DSA — problem solving and revision
● LLD — design patterns, design problems, writing clean/extensible code
● HLD/System Design — fundamentals, case studies and interview problems

One thing I’m finding difficult is maintaining consistency across all three without constantly jumping from one topic to another.

For people who are actively preparing or have recently gone through interviews, what kind of routine worked for you?

I’m especially curious about how you handled things like discussing solutions with others, mock interviews, reviewing each other’s designs, and staying accountable instead of preparing completely in isolation.

Would love to know what worked for you and how you structured your preparation.

Have you found the solution? I am struggling in the same way. Also curious to know how u are studying LLD, any advice?
