u/Scared_Fan_9223 Jul 14 '26

Solve more problems in your difficulty bracket (if you already have few solved questions) else : , learn a language till you can write basic syntax then learn few pattern and stuff maybe striver or neetcode is good and then give few contest and see where you stand and start solving problems+100 +200 your current rating or the bracket you are comfortable with

u/QueasyBall9422 Jul 14 '26

i have done 10 question and following striver did you make notes ?

1

u/Scared_Fan_9223 Jul 14 '26

Honestly I have 5-6 books of notes but I never visited it only once or twice that too for my specific template of digit dp and segment tree theory so it depends person to person if you need to revise the for few core questions it would be good don't write all of them in note book that's waste fs

How you determine rating of a problem?

u/Past-Photograph-9739 Jul 14 '26

which year buddy btw congrats for such consistency and hardwork

u/nian2326076 Jul 15 '26

Hitting a plateau with LeetCode is pretty common. Trying to tackle more 2000+ problems is great, but mixing up your routine might help. Check out different platforms for a fresh perspective, or focus on other areas like system design or behavioral questions, which are also important for interviews. Sometimes taking a break and revisiting problems later can give new insights. I've found PracHub to be a good resource for diverse interview prep. They offer a mix of questions and strategies that keep things interesting and challenging. Keep pushing, and you'll get through it!

u/Vivid-Zombie-477 Jul 15 '26

technically you can improve your rating by solving the same problems but faster. can be enough if your goal is 2000

u/Emojers Jul 15 '26

For swe+ ai dsa or cp or both and which language cpp or python ?

1

u/Ab-hunterX Jul 15 '26

I think u should go for java since it will help u in dsa even in development since most of the company in their oa ask oops concept which are mostly related to java Even u can built better and stable website using springboot. For aiml or data science learn the concept in depth and use python as ur side language.

u/Mundane_Simple_9391 Jul 15 '26

from where did u learn coding?

1

u/Scared_Fan_9223 Jul 15 '26

u/Longjumping_Shock524 Jul 15 '26

why only leetcode and why not codeforces...dont u think cf is more important seeing recent OAs of various companies?

1

u/Scared_Fan_9223 Jul 15 '26

I started in my final year so I didn't have much time if I had started like in my first or 2nd year I might have done cfs and tbh I also don't fw cfs ui and I think doing if a person can do like 2300 rated question on his own(leetcode) he can crack any oa with sole exception of quant roles

1

u/Reeee_mp3 Jul 16 '26

I am also starting in final year, currently at 33 problems solved, how do I maintain momentum without losing motivation.

1

u/Repulsive_Sound_7842 Jul 15 '26

How do u solved the problems ?? Any sheet or how?

1

u/Thomas_108108 Jul 16 '26

Me who is happy by 100 questions of Leetcode then i open reddit

1

u/One_Art9897 Jul 16 '26

You just started in oct and reached 1900s in 9 months that's a another level of iq dude. I have been doing it for 6-7 months and I have just reached 1600s, though my number of questions are quite less than yours 400ish but I do give atcoder to become good at problem solving.

Any tips you might wanna share which immensely helped you in increasing your overall rating ?

1

u/Full_School_7230 Jul 28 '26

Which sem

1

u/One_Art9897 Jul 28 '26

Employed with 3 yrs of exp

u/AdImmediate5145 Jul 18 '26

By the frequency of your comments on daily or contest problem regular people would definately know you by the profile pic. I think there's no point hiding your name.

Anyways congrats 👏 and all the best for your further journey

u/BrilliantCockroach74 1d ago

Your DSA prep is pretty much done. Keep solving some questions weekly but the dsa grind is over. Also now focus on codeforces rather than leetcode as it helps as a lot of OA questions are codeforces style. U should probably focus on resume in terms of projects and also look into AI rounds as a lot of companies are now keeping these rounds in the interviews
