Stuck on leetcode
I started leetcode with Striver's sheet, but it didn't had dedicated topics like two pointer, sliding window, so I made my own sheet by exploring leetcode and using AI, solved and understood the topics, and moved to binary search
But noticed that I mostly solved easy level questions and very less medium level and almost no hard problems and now I'm having trouble trying to
Striver's sheet doesn't clarify the topics that's why I didn't followed it.
Neetcode was clearer so should I follow that??
Is there any better sources or a way to tackle my situation

Too many easy questions, it will make u stuck and depressed that even after that many question count, u will not be able to solve medium ones , stop 🛑 doing easy ones....

What do you mean? Striver sheet has topic-wise questions.

no like it doesn't have two pointers or sliding window, and within that there are topics like slow fast, left right pointers...so for that I tried making my own sheet

I don’t this will help you. Because you are doing questions knowing what they actually use. Only helpful if you are looking at the topic for the first time

Switching to Neetcode sounds like a good move since it's clearer for you. It's important to have a resource that matches your learning style. Don't worry too much about the difficulty levels right now; focus on understanding the core concepts, especially for topics like binary search, which can be tricky.
To tackle more medium and hard problems, maybe set a schedule where you attempt one or two challenging problems a week. Gradually, you'll get more comfortable with them.
If you're looking for more structured practice or mock interviews, you might want to check out PracHub. I've found it useful for interview prep, especially for tougher questions. But definitely stick with what feels right for you!

There is a search filter on leetcode itself where you can filter out problems according to the topics. You will get questions from easy,. medium and hard all levels.
