The Razer Seiren mini and Blue Snowball both fit the bill for $50 - but a microphone arm is EVEN MORE IMPORTANT. Proximity to your mouth contributes even more to sound quality than the microphone itself, especially in this price range.

If you set a $50 mic down on your desk on whatever 3" stand it comes with, it isn't going to sound much better than your laptop mic.

There are mic arms for like $20 on amazon, I'd recommend spending that in addition to the $50.

Need to shoot for, like, 2-3" from your mouth

It's not sexy, but earbuds (or over ear headphones if you prefer with a 3.5 jack - I do) with an inline mic is the most easy to use, trouble free set up you can have.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
