Honestly, I pass on companies that do leetcode, I'm simply not going to do it. In my day to day I am working on mission critical applications, creating web applications that rely on legacy databases, writing SQL SPs. I'm decent considering my short career, i try to improve on every previous project. However, when I go home I'm not wasting my time grinding leetcode, even though I was top of every class in college, algorithms, data structures, theory of computation and so on. I'm competent and pick up new stuff very easily. I tell recruiters I will pass on an interview if they are doing leetcode/hackerrank. I'm okay to solve some coding problems that they have day to day, talk about architecture/design, talk about what I'm good at and where I want to improve. I also wish other people would stop grinding leetcode and that everyone was realistic about the job at hand. Most developers won't be writing the most efficient code, but start easy and refactor if certain part of the application becomes a bottleneck.
