With the recent bull run in the market, I crossed the 2M mark! The screenshot is from one of my accounts. My holdings include mostly VOO + QQQ and some bitcoin. Started from zero 7 years back and have been DCA'ing into the market since then. High earnings (~250k) helped. I invested close to 150k a year on average. A lot of it is luck considering the recent market performance. Feeling grateful to reach this mark!
I feel blessed and lucky to be able to accumulate this wealth at a young age. I did this by working high paying jobs and saving a large (>80%) chunk of my take home pay (after taxes) for around 7 years. A lot of this wealth comes from the lucky bull run from the market in the last decade which I consider pure luck. I mostly held a combination of VOO and QQQ in my portfolio, with 10% bitcoin, and < 10% individual stocks.
Wondering if there are any resources to get better at solving leetcode hard problems ?
I am able to solve quite a few of them (those which lean medium), but still struggle with a lot of them. I am wondering if practice can get me there or there is an IQ/intelligence barrier for leetcode hards particularly.
My goal is to boost my number of hard problems solved on leetcode.
Side question : Is this even needed for cracking tech (not quant/HFT) SWE interviews ?
My stats are :
Leetcode contest rating : 2000
Questions solved 1043 : 153E/710M/180H

A little bit about me, I was born and brought up in a poor country. I never imagined I would reach anywhere near this point, especially when converting USD to my home currency. I feel blessed and lucky to be able to accumulate this wealth at a young age of 29. I did this by working high paying jobs and saving a large (>80%) chunk of my take home pay (after taxes) for around 7 years. A lot of this wealth comes from the lucky bull run from the market in the last decade which I consider pure luck.

My yearly expenses are about 80k so I am technically FIRE using the 4% rule, although a 3% rule would be more accurate for me given my age. Looking forward to what's next for me. My curreny plan is to keep grinding till I reach 5M and then retire for good (well, I mean not work W2 jobs and try to branch out on my own by starting a venture).
I am rated 2000 on leetcode, what does this translate to on codeforces ?
