How many DSA problems should I solve before applying?

Question

I've solved about 120 LeetCode problems, mostly easy. Placements start in two months. Should I keep grinding or start applying?

Start applying now; interviews are practice too. Shift from counting problems to covering **patterns**: two pointers, sliding window, BFS/DFS, binary search, heaps, basic DP. Do 2–3 mediums per pattern and explain your approach out loud as you solve.
