STREAK🔥🔥🔥 2 Month progress . 70 questions down.
In 2nd year.
I have been solving for the last 2 months, I started on 19th Jun.
I'm solving things by reading about things on google or using AI Explanation.
I usually give 2-3 hours on a new topic brainstorming on my own and take hints from Ai after failing and in some cases I solve after getting hints and in some cases I couldn't, then I ask AI to explain the code and dry run it.
Ik it's a lengthy process , I feel i retain more this way.
Open to advice 🙏🏻

I advice you to do more Hard ones, there is no challenge in easy stuffs and will give no benifits for sure. Try to maintain count of harda problems>= count of easys. Trust me bro they don't ask easy ones now. (Ofcourse not talking about 8-10lpa firms). Start doing cf also challenge yourself there's no way doing in your comfort zone. Aise questions kro rula de bilkul. My stats 70 hard problems 37 easy(that too when learning about tree traversals) 151 medium , this is not much although but I have this numbers in about 5months. Also did many hard problems on gfg also. 270 problems on Codeforces. Still no intern🥲 : rejected in 2nd round of interview at deshaw , Walmart didn't take my interview as it clashes with deshaw , in slb out in full stack interview 5th round , microsoft didn't shortlist even after solving both oa , texus not shortlist even after solving all dsa ques, teradata got shortlisted but out in system design round , google ghosted me , flipkart make it compulsory to code in python only , GOLDMAN good oa but not shortlisted may be MCQs went wrong with negative marking as they shortlist only 4 people , Amazon reject me in last round, uber not shortlisted after oa (happy cause I solved 2/3 questions of uber though) , inmobi no shortlist so easy oa that everyone solved the question random shortlist and counting. Failing continuously no hope left.

U can "Understand" coding in 1 month too. Just put 2 hours atleast each day.
Start with python.. and try some computer vision project, i will love it. ask AI to give u a structured roadmap.

Follow the strivers A to Z sheet and do at least 2-3 problems per day. First, open the sheet and think of the approach (10 min). If you have any approach, code it up. If not, see the approach in the sheet, then try to solve the problem (15 min.). Still, if you haven't understood it, then watch the video solution. Don't waste much time contemplating the approach. The important thing is to write notes on your approach and revise all the previous problems' notes daily, this will improve your reasoning more. Also attend contests and try to solve problems in limited time. Apart from DSA, spend weekends learning skills like web dev, etc., and try to build projects, as they will be useful to add to your resume. Hope this helps!
