[Jaydeep Rathod](https://hashnode.com/@jaydeep7) Nothing special other than mentioned in the article, just strike a good balance between development and practicing DSA and you'll be good to go :)

I enjoyed reading your article very much. It was informative and engaging. I am a student who has finished the frontend development course in my first year and now I am in my second year, looking forward to getting hired by some reputable tech companies. Do you have any advice or guidance for me? Is there a roadmap that I can follow to achieve my goals?

I think I have mentioned most of it in the article. A great balance between making good projects practising DSA would be the best way to make the most out of your second year.

[Khushboo Gupta](https://hashnode.com/@khushboogupta13) great article for the ones pursuing their careers. Keeping it going. I was eager to know the timeframe one takes to prepare for DSA.

[Jun 28, 2023](https://hashnode.com/posts/my-two-cents-on-preparing-for-swe-internships/6494b07157fa9df8d25ad308/comment/649bd2cdb4f39088739259ae#reply-649c280fc3c45b9868c82143)

[Godwin Pinto](https://hashnode.com/@Godwinpinto) thankyou so much for your kind words. I believe it would take about 2-3 months to get a basic hold of DSA if you have experience with a programming language. After that, I think practice and learning more advanced concepts with time would be helpful :)
