To prepare for big product based companies, do I need to focus more on DSA or on tech specific skills like Java, Spring Boot or do I need to focus on both equally?

When you say big..what do you mean by that?

In India culture is mixed

Tech skills round
DSA round - not tough
Many a times combination of both
Or 2 similar rounds
And one coding round

Now if you are targeting FAANG level companies
They will focus only on DSA and system design

So, I would suggest you to put more focus on
Tech skills, DSA not in depth but atleast regular algos and structures and system design.
Coding - Arrays, Linkedlist, searching, sorting, binary, red black trees, tries, greedy algo, backtrack, bottom up trees

Because FAANG level market is small and others will ask above things..then you will be in a trouble if you only focus on DSA

likehelpful

If it's FAANG, focus only only DSA and Systems Design.

Else focus on core skills with some DSA , solve top 100 leetcode questions and you will be good.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
