Start with clearing the concepts of any of the programming language you feel good about, I'd say pick Java, C++ or C# but totally your choice.

Then start with any competitive programming platform probably like leetcode etc. This can be done parallely with first step as well.

Focus on not just solving problems but solving them efficiently keeping in mind the complexity, modularity and clean code approach. Make sure you have brute force solutions as well as efficient solutions for a particular problem.

Then comes the System Design, again that has LLD and HLD. This is again a key aspect for cracking product based companies especially if you want to get in FAANG. There are various ebooks available for that as well.

Thanks a lot! This is very helpful!

Work on your basics of DS like Arrays, Stacks, Queues, Linked List, Trees and algos like Sorting, Searching along with concept of Complexities(Time and Space). Once done, proceed with advance concepts like Hashmaps ( learn about implementation), Graphs ( nice to know but not mandatory considering your level of experience).

Practice as much as you can on any platform of your liking CodeChef, LeetCode, Hackerrank etc. It will help you in sharpen your problem solving skills.
Build your own portfolio projects, if you feel the company project that you have been working on doesn't add much value to your case.

Explore on various System Design (LLD, HLD) technique this will give you an edge over other candidates.

Most important, start applying for the jobs. It will be real guiding factor for you as it will help you in understand where to work upon.

All the Best!

Thanks a lot! This is very helpful!

Any oops language and DSA should be sufficient.
