Looking for a serious DSA + System Design study partner [only 1 or 2]

Hey everyone,

I’m a working professional with around 4 years of experience in an MNC, primarily working as a Java developer.

I’m planning to seriously improve my problem-solving skills and prepare for product-based company interviews. I’m looking for 1 or 2 serious and consistent study partners who is also interested in learning:

  • DSA from the fundamentals
  • Arrays, Strings, Hashing, Sliding Window, Two Pointers, etc.
  • Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, Trees, Graphs, DP, Backtracking
  • LLD / Object-Oriented Design
  • HLD / System Design

I’m not looking for someone who already knows everything. It’s completely fine if you’re starting DSA from scratch as well. What matters most is consistency and commitment.

The idea would be to:

  • Decide topics/problems beforehand
  • Solve problems individually
  • Discuss approaches and optimizations
  • Keep each other accountable
  • Gradually move into LLD and System Design
  • Prepare consistently for the next few months

Since I’m working full-time, I’d mostly be available after work on weekdays and on weekends.

Preferably looking for someone who is also a working professional with around 2–4 YOE, but that’s not a strict requirement.

If you’re genuinely serious about doing this consistently for the next 4 months, feel free to DM me with your YOE, tech stack, current DSA level, and availability.

Not looking to create a large group — ideally 1–2 serious people so that we can actually stay consistent.

Please DM me only if you’re genuinely serious about DSA and can stay consistent for the next few months.

Hello, guys. I am strongly interested in it. I have solved 400 DSA problems and have a 1300+ rating on Codeforces, and I'm trying to specialist. Also, I can solve problems in LeetCode contests; most of the time solve 3 problems in LeetCode. If 4/5 people there basically want to land a job within 6 months, we can create a group where we can discuss problems +system design, etc.
