One of my friend gave the interview at the same company and he was asked to give an approach to couple of DSA questions rather than writing code too. Conclusion: If you're a fresher getting started, prepare DSA side by side. Atleast understand the approach to solve a question.

I always had a low CGPA in college but trust me, for all the companies that I've applied to or worked for, none of them ever cared about it. Some of them did care about Problem Solving skills such as DSA but most of them considered my Open Source contributions as a proof.

Harsh Truths in Open Source: - PRs can take months to merge. - There's no place for spoon-feeding. - Good first issues are not always the best way to get started. - Small Open Source projects tend to have a greater impact than Big Open Source projects. - It's not about SWAGS!

If you're targeting LFX Mentorship for this season, don't aim to just get selected. Be curious about the project and submit your proposal for the problem statement. A curious mind will find a way somehow to solve a certain problem irrespective at what position it is put at.
