Solving X number of problems on LeetCode doesn't necessarily mean that you are good at DSA! I've solved ~2k problems on LC and probably 3k+ problems (all platforms combined), still someone who has solved a fraction of these problems might be a better problem solver than me if he has covered the necessary topics with the required understanding. A few pointers: 1. focus on understanding the fundamentals of the problem rather than increasing your problem count just to mention on the resume. 2. Contest rankings would always speak more about your problem solving skills, so try to focus on them! 3. Don't just solve easy problems for increasing the count. Go after medium-hard problems to test your knowledge. Hope this short post was helpful!

absolutely Pranav Just hitting those easy problems and getting a good count is a waste of time Instead we can have low count But solving medium - hard problems really gives the knowledge to actually improve our problem solving ability 💯
