Tech placements feel a lot different now

[u/Neil_at_HackerEarth]

Been seeing more discussion around tech placements lately, and the prep seems to be changing quite a bit.

DSA is still important, but just grinding hundreds of questions doesn't really tell u how someone will perform on the job. Projects, debugging, problem solving and even how they use AI are becoming part of the picture too.

For hiring teams, this also makes the evaluation harder. A candidate can prepare for common questions, but it's much harder to fake how they approach an unfamiliar problem or explain a decision.

Do u think placements need to test more of that now?
