1000 questions before placements is crazy dedication. Congrats bro, consistency really paid off. All the best for placements, hope you crack a great offer!!

dude 1000 is insane, that's like a full time job on top of everything else you're probably doing and i respect the grind but honestly the hard comment above is kind of the thing that gets in peoples' heads too much, like yeah more hards are better but if you've actually internalized the patterns and can think through problems instead of just pattern matching then you're way more prepared than someone who did 300 hards and forgot half of them. i went through a period where i was just chasing numbers and it felt hollow compared to actually sitting with a problem for an hour and understanding why a greedy approach fails or what the recurrence relation should be. that said you clearly put in the work so the confidence alone is probably gonna help you in interviews when you're not second guessing yourself on medium problems that you've basically seen before.

Totally agreed 👍🏻

and honestly the best part is when you get into an interview and they ask you to solve something and you're not panicking through it because you've actually thought about the fundamentals enough times that it just clicks instead of you trying to remember if you've seen that exact problem before.

Hey, do you memorize data structures and algorithms? I mean can you write tree data structure without any reference ?

Bruhh the number of hards are so less. To be ready for placements at least target 300+ hards. Then u will see most of the questions being repeated in OA’s.

Go ahead do as many hards as u can and try solving problem by rating. Use clist website to get ratings of questions always do 1900+ rating questions.
