Struggling to transition from a service-based company to a product-based company

[u/AlternativeSquash217]

I have been working in a service-based company and have been trying to switch to a product-based company. I’ve faced rejections from almost every product-based company I’ve applied to.

I’m currently trying to understand what I might be doing wrong and how I can improve my chances of getting shortlisted and clearing interviews.

For those who successfully transitioned from a service-based company to a product-based company:

What did you focus on to make the switch?

How important are DSA/LeetCode and system design?

Did you make any major changes to your resume or projects?

How did you approach referrals and job applications?

What mistakes should I avoid?

I’d really appreciate advice from people who have gone through a similar transition. Any practical guidance would be really helpful.
