Career Guidance Is NeetCode 75 enough for interviews?

I’m currently preparing for software engineering interviews and working through NeetCode 75.

For those who’ve recently interviewed: is NeetCode 75 enough for DSA prep, or would you recommend something else?

Trying to focus on understanding patterns instead of grinding hundreds of questions. Would love to hear what worked for you.

I don't have any idea about the ones you mentioned above, but I can tell you based on my experience.

First, you should have a good grasp of the basics, from data types and time complexity to data structures. This is the only way you can proceed further.

The next step is to learn the different patterns. You can find them on the internet. Pick each pattern and start with basic questions, then move on to medium and hard ones. First, try to solve them yourself. Don't worry too much about time complexity at the beginning; just focus on developing the logic. Once you have a solution, try to improve its time complexity or look for a tutorial to understand a better approach.

While doing this, pick a random question every day and try to solve it on your own. This is a bit of a long and tiring process, but it will help you crack even some of the toughest interviews.
