I agree that DSA interviews are not solely about evaluating knowledge of data structures and algorithms. They also assess how candidates approach problems and communicate during the interview. This format is handy for evaluating entry-level candidates who may not have practical experience in areas like APIs or web development, as DSA concepts are commonly covered in computer science courses.
Additionally, I believe it's important to adopt a pragmatic approach: while some may disagree with being evaluated on DSA skills, it's often more beneficial to accept this as part of the process. Interview processes will never be perfect or completely fair, but instead of complaining, focusing on preparation and adapting to the rules of the game can lead to better outcomes. This mindset helps candidates navigate the interview landscape more effectively.
Well said especially about current format is kinda make sense for entry level engineers who don’t have industry experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
