How do you guys manage college(75% attendance) with skills and college academics specifically the ones having college timings 9 to 4 or similar. Saturday sunday bhi kaise kr lete ho, idhar skills me hi aadha time chala jata hai and weekends me alaas bhi aata hai + weekdays me college work + mushkil se ek kuch aadha ho pata hai
Hows the tech market for freshers in backend dev and which one to do (java + springboot) or (python(dk much about python ig its MERN))
Im doing java as of now and fairly decent in DSA, did till graphs.
So i was thinking to start learning development with backend dev and slowly frontend too.
What tech stacks should i choose and what all other technologies should i know
so im starting my journey to learn backend dev and im hella confused what tech stacks to choose( will be graduating in the year 2029) i already started java + springboot but im very confused as i see people doin MERN some doin java and some doin c# and .net stuff.
can someone experienced in the market suggest me what to do 😊
guys how are you doing dfs like i started dfs some time ago and it feels weird. BFS was good at some point some new dfs question is like unsolvable for the very 1st time
I did till BST and now i have 2 options either do Tries and segment trees before graph or do graph then do tries and segment trees. Can someone suggest me what should i do as tries is a little difficult for me
The topics i am now comfortable is stacks, queue, hashmap and linked listtopics covered two pointers, queue, stack, linked list, trees, hashmap, hashset also i can now do the easy questions without looking for solution of the easy topics i am comfortable with and some medium questions with hints, but for topic like trees i struggle a lot i can do easy ones sometimes and i am learning BST and binary trees still it is tough for me.
So I am a first year student(tire 3) and my 1st year just ended, 2nd year to start in a month
topics done - linked list, hashmap, binary search, recursion, stacks, queue
and i am starting trees
i still have problems in figuring out the approach for some new unseen medium level problem and sometimes i can figure out the data structure and for old problems i am able to now figure out the algo used and somewhat the code.
i learnt java properly and doing mysql and want to become a backend dev
so my doubt is: i am seeing a lot of posts regarding layoffs, company in loss, hiring freeze will i be able to stand out and get a good placement in next 4 years and if you have any suggestion or any suggested tech stack do share 😃

so i am at a point where for the old topics i had done i am able to write the algorithms used for the problem and visualize what should happen in the approach and identify the data structure used but when i start to code i realize i cant code it properly or atleast not completely from scratch and i have to see my previous submissions or ask ai for help.
I do atleast 5 problems daily which includes 1 new problem and 4 old problem but if i am free then i do more like 15 to 20 which includes 4 to 5 new and rest revision
I have done 182 problems and i have 643 submissions and i started doing leetcode from March 2026 (a few months back)
The topics i have done is binary search, hashmap, hashset, two pointers, stack, queue, linked list
I started to do trees but realised i need to do more recursion before i can do trees so im thinking to start recursion.
Please let me know that is there something if i'm doing wrong (also i am unable to do completely new problems of medium or very rarely easy levels)
