I understand the question is highly subjective, so I will try to be as specific as possible and give you the proper context of my current skillset in solving LC problems. I have completed about 100+ Easy problems and 200+ Medium problems across LC topics. I believe I have sufficient breadth under my belt and feel there is a huge opportunity cost in solving Hard problems, as it takes me hours and even days to solve them.

I am looking to understand if there is a strategy to approach Hard problems that others have been successful with. I will eventually do the Hard problems themselves as I completely enjoy them, however, with respect to time how do I approach attempting the Hard problems purely from an Interview perspective?

I am personally looking to target - 100+ Easy, 500+ Mediums, and None Hard problems and test whether I would be able to crack any of the companies.

Note, I don't have a background in CS and this is the first time I am attempting to solve LC problems. I am a complete novice, and I love LC so much that I am doing this full-time.
