No, he's only worked at Yup in SV AFAICT. Maybe he's making $400K+/yr there but I'm somewhat skeptical. It could be his perspective on what is lucrative is very different having come from eastern europe and maybe comparing to there rather than to FAANG TC or what a soon-to-IPO company TC would be. (e.g. Instacart) I've interviewed with 100+ companies in the bay. His experience is not representative of the industry at all, IMO... 90% of companies use leetcode here. Again, I need to emphasize, I've interviewed with way more companies than most people and most of my peers interview with dozens as well and they all have to grind leetcode.
