Hello everyone,

A complete novice in DSA. I have been working in same company for the past 3 years and really don’t see any growth. Never really applied to any FAANG/MANGO company. But really determined to switch next year to a product based or tech based firm just to grow myself and be more technically sound.

There are many threads for this and way too many learning courses out there but don’t know what is the best one out there. I am fluent in Python and have been coding for 3 years. Really appreciate y’all feedback and practical advice which can help me prepare. Totally determined not to quit only after arrays.

I am from Delhi so any content in Hindi and/or English works for me :)

Once again thanks
