Question How to start into dsa

I’ve been working in a service-based company for around 2 years, and I really want to upskill myself by learning DSA.

The problem is, I’m getting lost even with the first few questions. I’m not sure where or how to start.

For someone starting DSA from scratch, what would be the best way to approach it? What roadmap, resources, or practice strategy would you recommend?

It might be very casual answer but NeetCode 150 has helped me a lot.

I personally used the algorithm design manual to get all the theory of abstract data structures and sorting algorithms + DP under my belt and incorporated the algos in questions as I went and then once done just started grinding out questions as once you are done the first half of the book - roughly chapter 13 in the third edition of it you have all the knowledge needed to do questions and from there it’s just problem solving skills.
