I understand where you are coming from, but I honestly disagree. I always try and do the best job possible, but I don't do it for the company, I do it for me.

I understand where you are coming from, but I honestly disagree. I always try and do the best job possible, but I don't do it for the company, I do it for me. I think of it as training to make myself better. I am always looking out for my skills and experience, so when the next opportunity comes around, I'm ready to take it. You could say that it's resume stuffing, but I don't think of it and mean it that way. I want to see how things work and practice what I know. I want to incorporate that knowledge and associate it with my past experiences to figure out new things.
- decafninja 6y agoI've been where you were at too. The problem is, no matter how good of a real day to day job I've done and what practical real world skills I've learned, "when the next opportunity comes around" as you say, I wasn't ready to take it - because I got burned by leetcode interviews that have nothing to do with the above. I too, want to do everything you mention, but until I get past the leetcode gatekeepers, it doesn't matter.
