Is DSA worth it in 2024?

Importance Of DSA is a very debatable topic in the tech community. Some say that DSA is a must have if you want to know how to get into FAANG, and some say that DSA is useless even if you want to get into FAANG. So what is the reality of DSA? Is it important to master Data, Structures and Algorithms (DSA) to get into FAANG? And can you get remote tech jobs without DSA? Watch this video by Harkirat Singh to know!

Harkirat: Don't know when I started doing codeforces
Also Harkirat: Candidate Master on codeforces.
Take this piece of information into account when harkirat says he didn't need to do DSA after the "basics".

What about web3 jobs? I show the video of Tanay Pratap in that he is telling web3 is dead in 2024. Just asking because I may start my career as a blockchain developer if I will clear 3rd round of interview. Please share your thoughts.

That 3*3 grid question seemed doable UNTIL you said you were given just 15-20 minutes!! reality check

Is there a link to the problem at 9:24?

Hi harkirat, I am writing this question in hope that you will read this and answer, I have done coding(dev) in my college and I was confident that I could land a job but now I am not able to find my interest whether it is frontend, backend, Mobile, cloud or something else. I am very confuse right now, I have taken a break of 3-4 months now but still nothing is coming in my mind now . And now I am getting thoughts of going into government jobs, but I don't want to waste what I have learnt for those 3 yrs of my college life

Sir, as a front-end developer, I'm transitioning from a startup to FANG. How do I ensure I know the necessary data structures, algorithms, or anything else?
