Answered By Mentor Priyansha Sharma
Hi, You need to manage time very well if you want to prepare for interviews along with your current job. Practice atleast 1-5 DSA questions/day and try to maintain consistency over the time till you get a job.
Here are some tips to start preparation with:
- Start solving coding question on your favorites platform like interviewbit, leetcode, gfg.
- If you are beginner then start solving easy question 1st once you gain confidence there, go to medium and then hard question.
- Try to solve easy question in 20 min, medium 30 min, hard in 40-50 min. its better to see the solution if u are not able to solve the question within this time frame.
- After solving question, Try to check out solution posted by other students because sometime we can learn good trick by seeing different solutions.
- If you have >=2 years of work exp, try to learn system design basics from any free resources available on internet.
- Try to give free mock interview on interviewbit or you can reach out to me and schedule an mock interview to check if you are ready for real interview.
Hope I answered your question. You can reach out to me in case of any more doubt.
