Hey everyone! I'm considering a career change from being an embedded software engineer in the automotive field due to recent layoffs and the rise of competition in the EV market. I'm aiming for roles at major tech companies like FAANG, but I realize I've got some gaps in my skills, particularly when it comes to data structures and algorithms (DSA) since I haven't really tackled platforms like Leetcode yet. I've only done a few medium-level problems on Hackerrank in the past. I'm looking to start my DSA journey and I'm stuck between two learning platforms: CodeIntuition and Structy. Has anyone here tried both of them? Which one would you suggest for someone with strong programming fundamentals but starting fresh in DSA? Any recommendations or advice on learning paths would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!

I think both have their perks, but if you already have a good grasp on programming, CodeIntuition might be the way to go. It's more focused on real interview problems and less on the basics, which could be a good challenge for you. It might push you harder, but you'll definitely feel more prepared for those technical interviews!
I've tried both platforms, and I found Structy to be more beginner-friendly. It has a structured path and simplifies concepts really well, so you can build up your DSA knowledge step by step. CodeIntuition has some great resources too, but it feels a bit overwhelming at first. If you're just starting out, I'd suggest giving Structy a try!
I agree with you! Structy really helps to break things down, making it easier to grasp those tricky concepts.
True! CodeIntuition does push you more. If you're ready to dive deeper, it can really sharpen your skills.
