Hi Aryan,


  1. Start giving Leetcode Biweekly and Weekly contests, you can follow Youtube channels and Leetcode discuss section if you are stuck somewhere while upsolving those questions. If still help required you can check my youtube channel, there I post Leetcode Questions Solution: https://youtube.com/@KomalPal?si=ytlTlk3VLe7Qr304
  2. Rectify your Resume and get it checked with any senior or you can check my LinkedIn Post regarding Resume Layout ( https://www.linkedin.com/posts/komal-pal-8a9a82155_resumewriting-jobsearchtips-softwareengineer-activity-7098143976100134912-Oxr0?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop ) and Resume content ( https://www.linkedin.com/posts/komal-pal-8a9a82155_beavailable-codingtechniqueswithkomal-code-activity-7099593528577572865-eHeQ?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop ), if you are not able to get valid help. As resume is most important for getting selected into top companies and even in any other company.
