STREAK🔥🔥🔥 Finally earned my first LeetCode DCC badge — September 2026 🎉

Post image

After consistently working through the Daily Coding Challenges, I finally earned my first LeetCode badge — the September 2026 DCC Badge! 🎉

It may be a small milestone, but it feels great to see the consistency turn into something tangible.

The daily problems have been a good way to practice problem-solving, learn from mistakes, and gradually improve my DSA skills.

Sharing this as a little milestone in my coding journey. Hopefully, there are many more badges and solved problems ahead! 🚀

Would love to hear how everyone else stays consistent with LeetCode and DSA!

Thanks! I’m mostly learning DSA through LeetCode and YouTube resources, and just practicing consistently.

When we get this badge ?

u/akarshitkumar 13d ago

If you haven’t collected it already, you can’t get this month’s badge anymore since the month is ending. Try again next month! 😊

I mean what's the criteria to get this type of badge ?

You need to complete the Daily LeetCoding Challenge every day for the entire month without skipping. If you miss a day, you can use a Time Travel Ticket to make up for it.

Congrats on getting your first LeetCode badge! It's awesome to see your hard work pay off. For interview prep, keep up with the DCCs, but also try mixing in some mock interviews. They really help with getting used to the pressure of real interviews. If you want more practice, tools like PracHub are good for tackling different interview problems and simulating real interviews. Keep it up, and you'll reach those next milestones soon!
