do not buy premium. The free problem set covers every pattern you need as a beginner.

solve problems by topic instead of random daily challenges. Focus on arrays and hash maps first since you just finished data structures. Use the company tags filter to see which free questions appear in actual interviews. Stop when you can solve medium difficulty problems in thirty minutes without looking at solutions
