Once you've gained a basic understanding and built some projects, the next step is tackling coding challenges to refine your problem-solving skills. Enter LeetCode, a popular platform for practicing algorithmic problems. Success in securing interviews, especially with top tech firms, often hinges on your ability to solve these problems rather effortlessly.
LeetCode represents a kind of "secret handshake" in tech—being proficient in it signifies competence to prospective employers. Aim to tackle these problems consistently, spacing your work over months rather than cramming and burning out. It’s all about building familiarity and confidence with coding problems that can be intimidating at first.
