I have 12 years of full stack experience but I've never done a leetcode problem. I know basics of DSA but not into competetive programming. I want to start learning competetive programming and work towards maang interviews.

I am feeling nervous and unsure of my journey ahead.

Can anyone please suggest what is the best way to start working on problems and prepare for interviews?

My sincere advice to you to move into Management role. After 40 you can't cope with DSA because of Cognitive memory loss due to your age . After 19 years of experience and in Technical side. I can see end of career. I can adjust and work as a slave in this company, if my company or project release me then it is end of career for me.


You can look for Engineering manager roles where there is Engineering and Technical expertise needed. Then you can move toward director roles.

I know I have been through this but in few years you will be experienced expert in technical but no one will call for interview after 15+ experience.

Intelligent and experienced persons have to suffer .

I recently attended 4 interviews from different copanies. None of these companies asked me any DSA related questions. My advice to you would be to concentrate on DSA only if you intent to learn the library, datastructures like HAshMap, PriorityQueue etc & very important for your learnings.

2) does it make sense to finance an engagement ring purchase or buy in cash? If financing, how much would you have to put down for a ~$30k ring? (If you’re upset by this number just replace ring with car or education or wedding or whatever you feel good about lol)
