As a beginner, I'm eager to learn both Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and the MERN stack. I'm wondering if I should tackle these subjects simultaneously or focus on finishing one before starting the other. What approach do you think is best?

It really depends on what you want to achieve. If your goal is to get a job in a company, mastering DSA could give you a big advantage, especially in interviews. As for MERN, it's just a tech stack—it’s good for building projects but not as widely used in big companies.
I'd suggest starting with DSA. It's the foundation of programming and will help you understand the logic behind the tech stacks like MERN. Think of DSA as essential building blocks for your coding skills.
Exactly! DSA skills are often critical in FAANG interviews. They might not focus on specific stacks like MERN.
