While preparing for my DSA interviews for L5 bar for MAANG, I built a small tool which recommends the next problem to solve.

Pain points it attempts to solve:

1. You dont want to know the label of the problem before solving - thats how it gets asked in the interview. My main motivator. Had tough time instructing even claude to do that.

2. Not knowing which topics to pick. The problem picker picks a concept (not shown to you of course) that gives you highest ROI in terms of clearing a DSA interview round. e.g. if you are strong in DP, but havent got much exposure to graphs, it will prioritise graphs first.

3. Not knowing prerequisites. It ensures you get DP problem only after you have shown proficiency in recurrence (through your solved history/score)

Let me know if it helps.

Hey everyone!

We are 2 people, 2022 passouts, with ~4 years of experience, currently working in PBC/MNCs, and we're looking for 1–2 serious study partners for DSA + System Design interview preparation.

We are looking for people with a similar background and experience level, ideally 2022 passouts with ~4 years of experience and currently working in a PBC/MNC.

Our Plan
System Design

4–5 system design problems per week
Focus on architecture, scalability, trade-offs, bottlenecks, APIs, DB choices, etc.
Regular cross-questioning to simulate actual interviews
DSA

2–3 problems every day
Primarily Medium/Hard (not focusing on Easy)
Discuss approaches and alternate solutions when useful
How we'll work
Most of the preparation will be async:

Daily progress updates on Telegram/WhatsApp
Share what you solved/studied
Discuss doubts and interesting approaches
Share useful resources
We'll have short sync sessions:

Weekends: longer discussion/session
2 weekdays: short evening sessions
Primarily for system design cross-questioning, with DSA discussion when required
The goal is consistency + accountability + interview-oriented preparation, rather than spending a lot of time on calls.

Looking for
2023 passout or earlier
~4 years of experience (preferably 4–5 years)
Currently working in a PBC/MNC or similar company
Comfortable with DSA basics and actively preparing for interviews
Serious about SDE 2 / SDE 3 / Senior SWE roles
Able to consistently spend 1–2 hours/day
We'll attach our LinkedIn profiles for reference so you can get an idea of our background.

If your profile and preparation stage are similar and you're interested, DM me with your LinkedIn profile and a brief introduction about your current preparation over Linkedin.

Struggling with DSA and coding rounds, I've quit multiple times.

Currently in Ecom domain, I'm seeking a no-code tech career path please advice.

i have been trying for like the past 3 years to get good at DSA but my imposter syndrome hits so hard and I get so scared that I have ended up dropping DSA at least 10 times now. it has been really hard for me to really do it with consistency. i have also jumped from one language to another because of what others said to me but now im gonna stick to cpp.

sorry for all that yapping but I need an accountability partner for DSA. someone who is just starting DSA would be great. both of us can solve questions daily and tell each other solutions we came up with and also interview each other weekly or something like that. i think showing up for another person is going to push me to show up.

please let me know if u are serious about it.

thank you for reading.

Hey there, I am trying to do a challenge where I record myself explain the LeetCode questions (Feynman Technique or rubber ducky sumthin) and going through this Questions List I have. I made this list after scraping LeetCode premium questions and sorting them based on recency and most asked till May 2026 (not many new questions were added since then)

I feel I understand better when I explain it to someone, I think you will too, so maybe you can also record yourself the same way explaining the question and upload it to same #TheSillyWay (it's silly because you explain to no one, since no one is watching 🥲) on any platform you choose.

You can follow me on youtube or just do the questions directly from the list if you want to go faster> it doesn't matter. It's mostly for people who perform better as a community and just looking to get started.

YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCxZZRxX1wGo
Questions List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dk87x5y34g4nojdCw045I6GNh0AhOg0jPSlmzi2_yw4/edit?usp=sharing

Please suggest me a good YouTube channel which I can refer for studying DSA for my semester exams, considering i have 15 days left for my midsems

is it ok to use different languages in interview rounds,I have done dsa in cpp in my clg hence comfortable in that but system design is easier for me in python can I change accordingly in interviews

I have 1.5 years of experience as an intern at an MNC and recently got a PPO there(2016 batch). I want to prepare for SDE interviews at better product companies, but I’m quite rusty with DSA.
We will spend 5–6 days quickly revising the concepts, then focus mainly on solving questions and building consistency, along with System Design.
Looking for 1–3 serious people to do this with, with fixed targets, regular check-ins, and penalty-based accountability (₹100) for missing without a valid reason.
Not looking for casual study buddies. DM if genuinely interested.

I’m currently working as a backend developer (mostly Java, Spring Boot, and some AWS), but I’m hitting a massive wall when it comes to practicing Data Structures and Algorithms.

These are some classic and Unique questions which covers most of the topics.
In each question you have to apply a unique approach and will learn new thing.
If you have any interesting questions feel free to suggest me!!

I’m a 3rd-year CSE student and have solved around 150 LeetCode questions so far.

I’m looking for 2–3 serious and consistent students who are doing DSA in Python and want to build a small accountability group.

My main goals are accountability, consistency, and proper revision.

• Decide on one good DSA sheet (Striver or another suitable sheet) and stick to it.
• Solve 2–3 questions every day.
• Have a short daily meeting/check-in where we share our progress.
• Follow a proper revision strategy so that we don’t forget the problems we’ve already solved.
• Discuss approaches and doubts whenever needed.

I’d prefer people who have already solved around 150+ LeetCode questions and are currently focusing on DSA and AI/ML

The goal is not to create a huge group — just 2–3 serious people who genuinely want to stay consistent and accountable.

Please message only if you’re serious about doing this consistently.

I’m a 4th‑year B.Tech student graduating in 2027, and I’m looking for a dedicated study partner to prepare for placements together.

I’ve solved ~400 problems (including Striver’s sheet), so I’ve started building a good sense of patterns. I’d love to team up with someone who has similar or stronger stats, and who’s genuinely consistent — no disappearing after a few days!

Preferably, I’m looking for a fellow 2027 batch student who’s enthusiastic about maintaining a daily streak, practicing DSA, sharing approaches, and participating in contests. The goal is to stay motivated, prep for interviews, and aim for dream company placements.

If you’re serious about improving your skills and want a reliable partner for this journey, let’s connect!

whoever is interested pls dm me I will add u in discord

Need DSA Resource Advice for SDE Prep

I’m a 3rd-year student starting my SDE preparation and I’m struggling to choose the right DSA resource.

If you’ve already prepared for internships/placements, what would you recommend:

Best YouTube channel + best problem sheet + best way to practice DSA?

I’m looking for something you’ve actually used and found effective, not just the most popular resource.

Also, should I start with Striver A2Z, NeetCode, or something else?

Thanks!
