It offers essential insights and strategies to help you progress and succeed in your role.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="1-foundational-knowledge-of-various-programming-languages"></span>1. Foundational Knowledge of Various Programming Languages<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>Pick a programming language of your choice and start learning basic concepts of it. Once you think you are pretty much familiar with the basics, you can start learning advanced topics of that language. </p> <p>You can choose any programming language, there are so many to choose from C++, C, Java, Python, Kotlin, Swift, etc. At the beginning of your career choose a low-level language like C, C++, or Java. Automated languages like Python and Kotlin are easy to learn initially but don’t help you with important concepts. </p> <p>Knowing a language is not always about knowing the syntax of the code. As you learn more about a language, you learn how it is working internally, which operations are costly, what are the conversions involved, how it optimizes, etc. Although you don’t always move to these details, initially learn how to code and later after a few months explore its working. Refer to the official documentation for learning advanced topics for programming languages.</p> <p>Learn time and space complexity calculation for a given code or the code you are writing. Understand best case, average case, and worst case complexity. This will be helpful when in later stages you try to optimize your code.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="2-building-a-strong-foundation-on-dsa"></span>2. Building a Strong Foundation on DSA<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>DSA stands for data structures and algorithms. Once you are familiar with the language of your choice, you are required to know the data structures and algorithms. </p> <p>Data Structures are used to store, retrieve, process, and organize data. Choosing the right data structure and algorithm can make a program considerably efficient. Most of the time, we are dealing with data product-based companies who have multiple technical rounds where they ask DSA questions of varying complexity to find candidates having a good grasp on these.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Data Structures</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Master common data structures – Arrays, Stack, Queue, LinkedLists, Set, HashMap, Tree, Graph, Heap, etc. </li> <li>Know the purposes of each data structure, and use them a few times in your code. </li> <li>Learn the workings and try to implement these data structures in your code.</li> </ul> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Algorithms</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Learn basic sorting and searching algorithms like Binary search, Insertion sort, Selection sort, Quick sort, Merge sort, Count sort, etc. </li> <li>Practice advanced algorithms such as Backtracking, Bit Manipulation, Dynamic Programming, Graph algorithms, etc.</li> </ul> <p>Various YouTube channels provide complete playlists for DSA, and books such as “Introduction to Algorithms”, “Algorithms”, “Advanced Data Structures”, etc. can be helpful. If you want a guided path, <a href="https://www.scaler.com/courses/data-structures-and-algorithms/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scaler’s course for DSA</a> can be really helpful. Also, some of the creators have provided a <a href="https://450dsa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">DSA sheet</a> consisting of 100 to 400 frequently asked questions or you can refer to the <a href="https://www.interviewbit.com/courses/programming/?utm_source=Ib&utm_medium=programming&utm_campaign=webstories" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Interviewbit DSA track</a> which broadly covers almost all the topics. </p> <p>By the end of this module, you should be extremely confident in implementing the basic and advanced data structures and algorithms. Apply time and space complexity concepts to these. </p> <p>A complete list of data structures and algorithms along with practice problems asked in interviews with popular companies can be found on InterviewBit. Leetcode is also a popular platform to learn coding.</p> <html><body>  <div class="quads-location quads-ad10540 quads-desktop" id="quads-ad10540" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;" data-lazydelay="3000">  <a imagebanner target="_blank" href="https://www.scaler.com/event/free-class-with-founders-academy/?utm_source=organic_blog&utm_medium=in_content_top-banner&utm_content=all_the_articles" rel="nofollow"> <img width="970" height="250" src="https://scaler-blog-prod-wp-content.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07131712/Banner-1.jpg" alt="Dream of working at a top tech company" data-lazydelay="0"> </a>  </div> </body></html><p>Questions on these platforms are marked Easy, Medium, and Hard/Difficult. In the interviews of SDE1 Easy and Medium questions are asked most of the time, Medium and Hard questions are for SDE2 and SDE3 interviews. Still, it is suggested to solve all types of questions as there are only a few Hard types of problems that are difficult to solve.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="3-master-core-computer-science-subjects"></span>3. Master Core Computer Science Subjects <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>Knowledge of basic computer science subjects will help in interviews as well as professional work. They help in understanding the complete flow and working of application development. By mastering these topics you will be able to solve complex problems, be able to create robust software, indulge in technical discussions, etc. Thus, take some time and have a good understanding of these. Reference books, courses, college projects, etc. can prove to be helpful while learning these. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">DBMS</h3> <p>Database Management Systems are used to organize the data in a structured way. Data is present in ample amounts within the company. This needs to be stored, used, and applied appropriately for the company’s benefit. </p> <p>For SDE1 learn the basics of DBMS, and know the CRUD operations with a basic DBMS like SQL. Create projects that use a database and are dynamically interacting with the database. </p> <p>For SDE2 and SDE3 read books on Database Management, and learn architectural designing of Databases, Normalization, etc. especially for the one’s aiming for an administrator role. Some of the famous books are “Fundamentals of Database Systems”, “Database System Concepts”, and “Fundamentals of Database Management Systems”.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Computer Networks</h3> <p>Computer Networks also known as CN is the study of interconnected computing devices for the exchange and sharing of data and resources. It comprises interconnected and interconnected networks. </p> <p>Possibly, you will hardly need it at the SDE1 level but as your experience grows you will see a bigger picture of the product and will be required to apply concepts like Computer Networks.</p> <p>Books are the best resource to learn such complex topics. Refer to “Computer Networking – Top Down Approach by Kurose, Ross”, “Computer Networks by Tanenbaum”, “TCP/IP illustrated by Richard Stevens”, etc.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Operating Systems</h3> <p>Operating Systems is the most important topic for all the roles. You must know the architecture and the System you are working on. Linux, MacOS, and Windows are widely used, they are the interface between the hardware and the software. If you learn operating systems you will realize how beautifully these are implemented and how our code is executed optimally in fractions of seconds.</p> <p>There are several ways to learn operating systems, you can refer to books, articles, courses, YouTube, etc. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Computer Architecture  </h3> <p>Computer architecture is a set of components that form components of a computer system. It consists of system design, instruction set architecture, and microarchitecture. </p> <p>Computer architecture is an advanced topic and is useful, especially for SDE3 or SDE2. Online courses on platforms like Udemy or Coursera can surely help in learning these concepts. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Software Engineering Basics</h3> <p>Explore the basics of software engineering like engineering principles, processes, architecture, tools, stacks, etc. Also, learn soft skills like good listening, communication, teamwork, documentation, etc. </p> <p>It is not possible and necessary to read all the books at a time, but when you are in college, or your initial years start reading these books. You are only expected to know the basics and you are not expected to read but it will surely help you stand out at times. These topics are taught in university education as courses.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="4-learn-object-oriented-programming-oop-concepts"></span>4. Learn Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>OOP paradigm features such as Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism with real-life relation. C, C++, and Java are object-oriented programming languages. Everything in OOP languages is seen as classes and objects. </p> <p>OOP is a very elementary topic it is really easy to understand as it relates a lot to the real world. </p> <p>Questions on OOP are asked in the initial coding test in MCQs or during interviews. Some of the features are language-specific like Java doesn’t provide multiple inheritance, so such cases must be clear as well. Features of OOPs, their real-life example, types, etc are common interview questions. </p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">For each Feature of OOP</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Have in-depth knowledge of inheritance.</li> <li>Implementation of inheritance and its various types such as hybrid, multiple, etc. in your code.</li> <li>Understand how real-world analogy. See how this interface is used in the real-world industry. What is a handler, provider, helper, etc.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://whimsical.com/object-oriented-programming-cheatsheet-by-love-babbar-YbSgLatbWQ4R5paV7EgqFw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Refer</a> to this sheet for all the resources and study material.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="5-learn-high-level-design-hld-and-low-level-design-lld-for-interview"></span>5.  Learn High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) for Interview<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p>During a Low-level Design Interview, the answers are expected based on years of experience of an individual. Your code must follow OOP principles and design patterns. There is no complete solution and therefore the choices you make the decisions you take are your thought process is analyzed think out loud.</p> <p>For SDE2 and SDE3 there is an interview round of System Design.

Focus on Implementation</strong>: Balance tutorial learning with hands-on implementation. Merely consuming tutorials doesn’t guarantee learning; it’s the actual implementation that solidifies your understanding.</p> <p><strong>2. Problem-Solving Over Solutions</strong>: Don’t rush to solutions for past interview questions. Instead, hone your problem-solving skills by attempting to solve problems related to data structures and algorithms (DSA) on your own.</p> <p><strong>3. Build Strong Foundations</strong>: Don’t rely solely on past interview questions. Ensure you have a strong foundation and problem-solving skills to tackle a variety of challenges effectively.</p> <p><strong>4. Avoid Premature Solutions</strong>: Resist the temptation to peek at solutions too soon. Invest ample time in solving problems yourself before seeking external help.</p> <p><strong>5. Write Readable Code</strong>: Practice writing clean, modular code with meaningful variable names. This practice not only aids in technical interviews but also enhances your coding skills overall.</p> <p><strong>6. Know Your Projects:</strong> Be well-versed in explaining your projects, whether they’re self-initiated, part of your job, or academic endeavors. Relate project experiences to potential behavioral interview questions for better articulation.</p> <p><strong>7. Situational Questions</strong>: Familiarize yourself with common situational questions from resources like “Cracking the Coding Interview.” Be prepared to discuss challenging situations, key learnings, conflicts, and enjoyable experiences from your projects or work experiences.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="how-scaler-academy-can-help-in-your-sde-journey"></span>How Scaler Academy Can Help in Your SDE Journey?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>  <div class="quads-location quads-ad10541 quads-desktop" id="quads-ad10541" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;" data-lazydelay="3000">  <a imagebanner target="_blank" href="https://www.scaler.com/events/?utm_source=organic_blog&utm_medium=in_content_end-banner&utm_content=all_the_articles" rel="nofollow"> <img width="970" height="250" src="https://scaler-blog-prod-wp-content.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07131716/Banner-3.jpg" alt="Would you like to learn directly from an expert" data-lazydelay="0"> </a>  </div> <p>Transitioning into a successful Software Development Engineer (SDE) role requires more than just technical skills; it demands a deep understanding of the ever-evolving industry landscape. <a href="https://www.scaler.com/academy/?utm_source=organic_blog&utm_medium=in_content_footer&utm_content=sde-roadmap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scaler’s Software Development Course</a> emerges as a pivotal player in this journey, offering a multifaceted platform tailored to meet the practical demands of the IT sector.
