▲ 3 r/PlacementsPrep
Stick with C++ or switch to Python for placements(3 months left)
I’m preparing for placements (~3 months left) and targeting roles like Apple IS&T.
Currently doing DSA with Striver A2Z in C++. I’ve finished till stacks/queues, but Trees, Graphs, and DP are still left.
The reason I’m confused is:
- I also want to learn more about Generative AI/build projects, which seems very Python-heavy
- Even after solving 100+ problems, I still sometimes struggle with C++ STL/syntax during implementation
So now I’m wondering if I should:
- continue DSA fully in C++
- switch to Python for interviews
- or keep C++ for DSA and use Python only for AI/projects
Also, with 3 months left, is finishing A2Z realistic or should I move to something like NeetCode 150 / Striver SDE Sheet instead?
Would appreciate advice from people who were in a similar situation.
