should i follow a particular sheet if i am doing CP, or should i just keep solving problems rating wise from problemset since i am already following a sheet for dsa, so i will just be learning concepts from there and will keep solving on cf and moving on further. in 3rd year btw.

yara if you are not from tier 1/1.5/2 college then stop doing CP ASAP.
If you are from tier - 3 to tier 69 college range focus only on leetcode and its contests and do more in development.
Leetcode is more than enough TBH.
But if you are from any IIT/NIT/IIIT or some tier 1/1.5/2 then go for it.
Best way to prep : Do the medium ranges ques from leetcode and once you are comfortable move back to CF and solve with problem and rating tag. Try to solve problems rated +300 than your rating.
The more you struggle the more you gonna improve.
Talking about sheet stuff striver's sheet for CP is not worth it.
Go for either
https://www.asksenior.in/learn
or
https://www.tle-eliminators.com/cp-sheet
But remember one thing. All the peps you see having CM M Expert title most of them haven't followed any sheet.
Best way is to just attempt the contest and learn&practice the topics you felt you are not comfortable with.
Best of luck sirs :)
+ Do not cheat. EVER. NOT WORTH IT.

hmm, i am doing both leetcode(high priority) and cf but leetcode is on higher priority but eventually i want to go for faang through referrals. oh, btw my kalej is tier 3 but there companies like kpmg, servicenow, come here, not in same numbers as tier 1 kalej but yea, they do hire 1-3 when they come and all of them tell me to be good at dsa and ig also they ask about projects, i was thinking of starting spring boot and dropping react/mern altogether. will start springboot in january when i am done with dsa sheet.
btw, adobe came to my college for interns and hired like 5-6 students and they say OA was quite hard for it, someone i know who is 1600 rating on cf cleared it. tbh, i think i have time to do till placements start, also few others who got into google and other good companies was also doing CP.

yup absolutely agree.
In your case your college is better than other tear 69. So yes try to get better in CP. It will eventually improve the chances of clearing OAs since they are notoriously hard than normal interview rounds.
And dont wait to start springboot after you are done with DSA sheet.
Just go for it. DSA is a rabbit hole with no ending mitr.
But you have time to fail and learn so yes go for it and constantly try to get consult with seniors. They can guide you better than a bhach user(me).

yeah best of luck yara,
I also went to ICPC kanpur in my 6th sem with my class mates :)
Its always a fun experience.
I fear how ICPC will be conducted these years because AI now-a-days can easily solve few of the problems.
But that's headache of their.
Best of luck to you :)

shorry for replying late :>
Tier 3 main agar koi FAANG/MAANG/HFT jaisi comp nahi aati to fayda nahi hai CP ka.
Usse accha hai saare topics kar lo acche se practice from leetcode.
Tier 3 walon ke paas koi doosra choice nahi hai.
You have to make some projects and some good contacts. nahi to kuch nhi hone wala.
Idhar recruiters ko ICPC kya hai wo nhi pta. What are you expecting from them.
Ab referral milna bhi kaafi mushkil hai. Either you achive >= Expert on CF or everything goes in vain.
If you are in < 4th year, then do whatever you want to. Karo CF lekin ye baat yad rakhna Tier 3 main jo comp aate hain unka main focus koi competitive programmer uthana nahi hota.
Best hai yara apne college ke seniors se pucho, kisne kya kia kya nahi.
+ start dev asap. asap matlab ASAP and public learning. Agar 4th year end tak acche connection nahi hue to bhagwan hin bachaye aapko.
The best you can expect from tier 3 is 10-12 lpa (THE BEST).
If you are focused on CP then try to get in CP community, it will grow you connections too.

doing cp will definitely help for offcampus interviews if you get any. also plenty of companies ask dsa nowadays even for 6-10lpa in tier 3 colleges, personally in my college every comp programming guy got good intern/placement. all of them are like 1500-1800 on cf.

Anan thanks for replying I'm currently in my first sem i have very close friend in IIT Delhi Cs who's 1800+ on cf so I can atleast have an idea what's it like on that level. Anyways I'll grind cp first then web dev as u said but some fgas were saying dev is completely dead cuz of ai ?

Yes agree with you yara. But i mentioned ki if you are in < 4th year than only go for CP.
Dont do this mistake if you are already in >= 5th sem. It will consume all your time.
Better stick to Leet if you are starting CP after 5th sem. Leet par bhi to hote hain na contest yara.
CP does helps you in getting good off-campus jobs but only when your CF rating ~ Expert
or leet ~ guardian.
If you enjoy CP then continue it, nothing is worth it more than satisfaction :P

No pyare dev is not dead cuz of AI.
Also please consider other things too jaise ki cyber security, bla bla. Not saying to stick on web dev only :)
Since you mentioned you have friends in IITD, Better to stay in contact with em.
Although IIT walon ke lie main focus CP rhta hai but still there are many IIT folks doing much better in other things too.
And since you mentioned you r in 1st sem then explore as much as you can :)
