> I feel investing anything more than the bare minimum to get your assigned work done is worth less than just grinding leetcode and otherwise studying for interviews. I totally see the logic. But the problem with this is on day 1 of the new job where you've moved up a level by successfully completing Leetcode-style interviews, you're now expected to do more and know more. And that's hard if you've only invested the bare minimum in your previous job and haven't maximized your learning. So now you need to not only give more than the bare minimum at your current job, you need to also constantly keep your Leetcode skills up to date.
