    • A question about suggesting products on amazon based on costs.(could not do it)(was related to subset problem ..figured it out later)

Could not make it to the next Round :(((

Currently I'm Working as Software developer(Devops mostly) in a reputed MNC(Product Based).
I am not much involved in lot of coding, however I have worked on Distributed database(redis), Docker, Kubernetes along with some shell scripting.
I practice questions on Leetcode and i have solved around (150+ problems).

I like Data Structures and algorithms and I prefer C++ as my first language.

Most companies require Java atleast for development.

So, I would like to seek suggestions on how to go about in a better direction to get in the better Product based companies(Not only FAANG) where I am actually involved in Development and not just testing.

Any Kind of Advice is Welcome

Hope My Experience helps the Leetcode Community.
