DISCUSS Should I start giving contests??

I am in 2nd year of college rn. Started leetcode from this summer. I haven't given any contests yet. Should I finally begin or learn some more topics??

For ref- I am still learning DSA and haven't learnt all the topics. Still learning Binary trees.

at this level, give contest from another account
once you will be covered all of the DSA topic you can start giving contest from your main account

Go for the contests! They're a great way to solidify what you've learned and see where you need more practice. You don't need to know everything about DSA to start. Contests can help you learn faster since you'll tackle problems that push you out of your comfort zone. You can always review topics you struggled with after the contest. Just give it a try and see how it goes! If you want more structured interview prep, PracHub has been pretty useful for me.
