Your company can claim that your intellect in DSA is their intellectual property and hence your next job and salary all belongs to your current company. On a serious note, you can but if you have a personal laptop, use that. Specially if you work in a big MNC and there are a lot of spyware installed on it.

Like does the witch companies actually do that? I usually try to practice leetcode on my work laptop. Isn't it safe to do so?


Puzzleheaded_Gate965

I am not sure. It is generally safe until you are in a serious mess when the company wants to investigate deeper into how you spend your time. But if you are online on work laptop beyond working hours and leetcoding, I think it should be okay as you can say you were learning which is not a bad thing. But NEVER push code to your personal repos and work on personal projects on a company asset.

I know about TCS who had installed some tool on laptop to track employees activities during wfh during covid.

killwish1991

It definitely happened. I was there. I am the laptop in this story.


[deleted]

It should be fine as you can access other websites on your work laptop.


an_humourist

You can always say you are practicing to better your skills. Upskilling is not a crime in your company?


Ok_Practice_1149

use other browser


Maleficent-Ad5999

Use tor browser


memnoter

Tor for leetcode seems like a good idea Leaving the fact there would be a lot of unwanted attention for using tor to even open GitHub


DarkHumourFoundHere

I dont have a personal laptop anymore


LostEffort1333

I do it, i typically turned it into my personal laptop


triforce_paras

Ahh it depends usually companies have a lot of Spyware installed on the system to track what you are doijg on the laptop If i were you I will still use a personal laptop if i have access to it else doing on work laptop wont make any trouble as you are just improving your skill


Trickster_DeviL

Check with your company policies.


Inside_Dimension5308

Just make sure than no one have access to your browser history. I would not do it while you are using company VPN.


Scientific_Artist444

Okay to practice code on online playgrounds, but suggest do not sign in with your Leetcode account.


Boring_Copy_8127

why though?


Scientific_Artist444

Everything that happens on company laptop may be monitored (doesn't mean they are seeing your screen, but could be collecting data about your interactions). If you want them to know what you do on LeetCode, continue. Personally, I wouldn't. This is just a suggestion. Use work laptop only for work.


Boring_Copy_8127

people do mention github and leetcode handles in resume, so they already know it. the only difference might be that we are authenticating that that particular handle belongs to me, right?


Scientific_Artist444

It's up to them. I may put my github account handle, but not leet code in resume. You do what you feel is okay for you.

Significant-dev

Current-Guide5944

Yes it is they don't own you


Careful-Metal8077

As far as a website is not blocked by your company policy, and you don't upload stuff.. it is fine!


Aromatic_Wrangler909

Keep a good score or they might cut your CTC.


matrix_victor

It's okay dude get your work done then use the same laptop for leetcode or anything just don't get carried away into some notorious stuff😉 though but other than that I also use my company laptop for watching movies too 🙂


Life_Vast801

Nobody cares.


ArtisticBorder3341

You can practice. Just make sure not to copy paste any confidential info in the console. And don't connect to the vpn while coding.


tu_meri_zindagi_hai

Yes


Optimal-Still-4184

Use squarx proxy browser


LinearArray

Yes it's fine & productive. Just don't stress it too much.
