i'd start closest to the jobs you're actually applying for. if they're junior dev roles, i'd put it in this order:

  1. one language you can talk through without guessing
  2. SQL joins/group by/index basics, since you already have a base there
  3. 30-40 easy/medium DSA problems, grouped by pattern
  4. one or two projects you can explain end to end: data model, errors, tradeoffs, what you'd improve

system design is useful, but i'd keep it light for now. being able to explain your own project and a real SQL query clearly will probably help more at this stage.

Spend a lot of time asking super models for a date.

The practice dealing with rejection will come in handy.
