The best strategic move is to grind your leetcode/algos/whatever else stopped you from getting your preferred roles and apply again / move ASAP, hopefully within 6 months or so, and hopefully only hold this job for a short enough period that you can drop it from your resume down the track. It's easier to explain to a hiring firm that you made a mistake, realized immediately and want to move on, rather than leaving after a year or two when it starts to look like job hopping / lack of commitment. Alternatively, stay for 2-3 years and do the studying at a leisurely pace. Just try to avoid a 1-2 year tenure, that's a bad look.
