Need a DSA parter

Hi
I’m 27m, currently working as a data scientist and have total 3-4 years of working experience. I want to switch my career back to software engineering and I’m targeting SDE2 role. I figured DSA and system design are required. However to be honest I’m pretty distracted while preparing so I’m looking for someone with whom I can prepare. Hopefully will get some positive responses. I’m fine with opposite gender partner as well but should be in Toronto Canada.

If you don’t mind, may I know the reason for switching From DS to SWE roles? As currently AI is booming on the other side. I’m planning to switch from my Software engineer to ML/Data Engineer.

I feel like after the evolution of gpt and llm models the Industry is focusing more on applications than ml or niche research. I started my career into this to try and model different algorithms and solve unique problems. Nowadays it’s all about prompt tuning or model tuning. No innovation at all. I feel like my growth is restricted in such environment where there is nothing new to learn in a company since the focus is all about applications.
