How soon should I reach out to recruiters before wanting to interview?

Question

Hey everyone,I'm wanting to start exploring some new job opportunities and I've started going through some leetcode problems. I figure for most FAANG companies I need about two months to prepare, so when should I go about contacting recruiters? Is now fine? Or should I wait until it's a little closer to the actual time I want to interview?

I feel like whenever you feel ready to go through the process, it's good to ask. You never know if they have any other positions that they think will be a good fit for you.

Now or over the next few weeks. The first stage or two can take a while. You can push your final back if you need more time to prep.

Start right now, but with companies lower on your list and work your way up
