Depends on the interview. I don't specifically study for Leetcode style problems so I would fail there. Systems design? Not too bad. Take home, sure within some time constraints. The numbers on a job posting are really just a weeding out system. I've gotten jobs with 0 experience in their particular tech stack. Interviewing is a numbers game, so play the game and fail/succeed quickly! I usually put out 25-30 applications a week, accept maybe 10-15 initial calls, and get an offer or so every other week. It's a candidates market and companies know it. If I receive a request in an interview that I don't agree with I just say so. Leetcode for a Senior role? No, get rid of it or I walk and take another offer I can pick up in a few days. Just refuse to do anything you consider below your pay grade.
