If you've ever done math competitions at the middle/high school level, you'll know that they are fairly poor at preparing you for more applied math. Same goes for Leetcode: it's great for competitions and recreational coding, but "real" software engineering is very different and is much more on the applied side. Software engineering also requires fairly strong communication skills - something Leetcode doesn't help with at all.
