If You Are Trying To Get Hired, You Need To Learn Data Structures & Algorithms: My Journey and Tips

If you want to get hired, you need to practice interviewing, which means getting used to solving data structures and algorithm questions. Is it fun? Not really, unless you do what I did.

Hey there, amazing people! 🌟 In today's video, I will share my personal journey and tips that helped me learn DSA.

Key Points Covered:

• The Importance of Interview Skills: I discuss how interviewing is a skill that needs to be developed, especially when many companies use algorithmic questions as a gatekeeping mechanism.

• My Stance on Learning: I share why I believe that focusing on algorithms might be premature if you can't build a basic project yet. Building real applications should be the priority!

• My experience with platforms like CodeWars, HackerRank, and FreeCodeCamp.

• The benefits of visual learning through courses I found most helpful include a fantastic JavaScript

• Data Structures course and Brilliant.org for interactive learning.

• Real-Life Application: I explain how I applied what I learned by creating projects like a train track simulator and a map visualizer, which helped solidify my understanding of graphs and pathfinding algorithms.

• Making Learning Fun: I emphasize the importance of enjoying the learning process and finding ways to make algorithms relatable to real-life situations.

Benefits of Watching:

• Gain insight into effective strategies for mastering data structures and algorithms.
• Learn about valuable resources and courses to help you learn.
• Discover how to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios, making learning more engaging and effective.
