Hi everyone, I have 2 years of experience in a service based industry as a Java developer, and I am eager to work hard and switch to a reputed product based organisation, but I am not getting proper time to study and practice data structures and algorithms, as I have so much to learn and understand things which are related to my project. Any suggestions would be appreciated and I'll try to inculcate it. Thanks in advance! Amazon Oracle Samsung Microsoft Cisco Salesforce Arcesium Uber

Second the suggestion of making notes. A couple of other suggestions:
I sometimes have trouble coming up with the right word for something in the moment and I’ve found it helpful to jot down relevant terms and jargon in the margins of my notebook ahead of meetings.
If materials are distributed ahead of the meeting, make time to review them before the meeting starts, so you have time to start thinking about the topics before getting into the meeting itself.
You’re not alone in this. I always felt a little awkward about being this way too, until I worked with a Partner on a project who had no problem saying they needed to let things “marinate for a while“ before being able to speak to it or give an opinion. That made me feel more comfortable about asking for time or if I could review materials ahead of time
Me too. I usually think of what I should have said after the fact, but then I feel like it is too late to go back and bring it up again.
Me too. I was told to make a cheat sheet and prepare prepare prepare
Yes! I've found I'm better at working my magic away from all the eyes. I put together things (data extraction tools, etc) that noone else can do, and they don't have the patience to try. You need other ways to show off your skills. Also, saying "I'll get back to you on that" is perfectly acceptable if not overused.
Try Toastmasters clubs they have a portion of the meeting called table topics - ask random questions and you have to stand up and answer for 1 - 2 min. The prepared speech portion really helps too. You will get better at it the more you practice and it helps that it is a non-work environment.
