Why do you care if you're good at leetcode? Are you finding that it correlates with bad performance on real interviews?
Last time I interviewed (at ~5 YoE) I found that while Facebook and Google still have several "leetcode" style interviews, many other high-tier companies only do one interview of that type (e.g. Stripe, Dropbox). The rest are some combination of practical coding, discussing your experience, and working through design problems. And even the FB/Google interviews aren't as bad as they sound, because you often have an intelligent and engaged person on the other end who is trying to help you demonstrate your skill, unlike the relative vacuum of working through Leetcode problems by yourself.
You should be able to get really detailed information on the interview process up-front, either on Glassdoor or by talking to recruiters. Pick companies whose interview process emphasizes your strengths.
