How to showcase the skillset developed by doing leetcode and other similar websites. As currently its represented as “ data structures and algorithms “ in the skills section of my resume.
How to showcase the in depth knowledge of DSA via resume ? Do we include certain small projects or leetcode profile link ( I am not sure whether its a good idea to include link as they will know how much you have practiced and might not ask those questions, i am assuming this )

any suggestions ????

FYI: I dont have any production projects in my CV and I am not in a developer profile but have been leetcoding to apply in Faang but i feel my CV is empty from developer profile perspective as I have been in consultancy till now.

hate my job and love programming

edit:
Thank you for responding but its not like I have 0 knowledge, I have done couple of proof of concepts from scratch, won couple of hackathons, and developed small mobile apps but nothing to showcase DSA knowledge. Also, no proper developer experience.
ps: i love you guys thank you for trolling

    Maybe if you are applying for job at Leetcode. If I were hiring I would rather hire someone that can do a good job on the interview without spending a lot of time on LC.

  • Generally interviewers’ expectation is that candidates should solve leetcode questions without having practiced leetcode questions.

    • When you put it like that, the whole thing seems like a farce

      It is a farce. And has been for a while.

      But yes. Said a different way - interviewers want you to come up with optimal solutions to problems you haven’t seen before. The assumption is that doing so translates into being a good software engineer (which isn’t always the case).

      In order to do so, we leetcode 4 lyfe.

    No. How about putting your masturbation frequency to demonstrate your stamina strength?

    On a serious note, why not aim for a lower tier company that actually suits your level, and build your resume from there? Top companies with 0 prior experience? Give me a break.

    This would be a red flag to me. We don’t actually *want* leetcoders. We want people who can solve the problems with little to no prep. Leetcoders are just exploiting the interview process.
