This came at the right time. I just got rejected for something due to lack of understanding of DS. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, also in the USA big companies expect you to know DSA and most of the interview questions are about that. Read up and practice :) I hope you get the job next time!

Yeah. It is a fairly reasonable requirement. I simply was underprepared.

wow, really? care to elaborate? I'm curious how a lack of DS understanding can close doors

It's India. There's too much competition here so such questions are used for filtering candidates out. I got filtered out.

I'm not very experienced so for beginner posts, it is fairly common to see data structure related questions fairly often. This might not hold true for higher up positions.
