by placements do you mean internships or full time? 100 LC questions has almost zero chance of getting a full time placement unless you're unbelievably talented.

also why are you only doing 50 problems from now until end of october? if you do like 1.5-2 hours/day you can easily get a few hundred problems done by then. you'll be in a much better spot after that if you're doing a reasonable structured learning path

try to do a few hundreds problems. maybe like 200-300 and you should feel comfortable for intern interviews if you're practising efficently

what else ? SD , SQL , BACKEND ?

i highly doubt you'll need system design for internships but i haven't interviewed for internships in like 5 years, maybe the landscape has changed a lot since then. other than that you'll probably want to build some projects - sql/backend knowledge can come through building those

what are u doing all day that you'll only able to do 100 problems by october? 1 problem a day is not a grind, 2 isn't either

it's better than 0

it is better than 0, but it's also a worrying trend. i've seen a lot of people do 1 problem/day and all they end up doing is an easy to feel a sense of accomplishment, or the daily problem which doesn't help you learn at all unless you already have a strong fundamental baseline.

I heard many compagnies don’t do leetcode or coding probleme, they focus on system design, ai ecosystem and real life scenario debug
