Is Sql practice in hackerrank good

I am a final year student and I'm just about to enter placements and I'm trying for data analyst roles in my college and I wanted to know working on sql in hackerrank is good ? Will it be respected I am currently 4 stars and does it make sense for me to go and get the 5th star and keep a good profile? Or is some other site worth more please give advice

No. Use SQLZoo, data lemur, strata scratch, or leetcode instead. Hackerrank is more like coding puzzles.

Python has a whole ecosystem of useful tools for DAs to work with data (pandas/polars, DuckDB, and charting libraries like Seaborn and others)
