Leetcode vs Codeforces & why?

Which is relevant when it comes to Job Interviews, Problem Solving, DSA practice for long term. Also, is something recruiters prefer more out of these two!

The first item that I skip and ignore in a resume is these rankings

Which is good but I do see now a days anyone who is referring or a recruiter for a bug product company asking for it

I love both, to be very honest.

If you practice on CodeForces, LeetCode will automatically become easy for you.

However, in the last few years I have mostly been doing LeetCode contests. The reason is that it happens on weekend, is only 90 minutes and I feel very happy after solving all the problems.

Someday, I wish to reach a level where I can solve all the problems of a CodeForces contest as well.

I voted LeetCode because I have mostly been doing LeetCode for past few years but overall I have solved more problems on CodeForces

Codeforces was brutal, I spent long time as pupil before I reached specialist and then expert.

By the time I discovered Leetcode I realized it had nothing to offer me.

So i have a question if I solve problem sets in cf or lc that will not help me with rating right and only contest will help me? Is my understanding correct

I solved most of my problems outside contests, I’ve participated in around 80 contests.

Motivation for leetcode

Hello awesome Devs!!

How do you keep up the motivation to grind leetcode after a regular job? For example, I am a software developer with 1 YOE and I find it boring to continue with those algorithm problems after a certain threshold.
