No I wouldn't. The pipeline to big tech is quite broken. The only way I got in was through acquisition. Now that I'm in, I've been able to be a top performer and get promoted every 1-2 years. New hires are usually really bright, but they lack practical abilities to do anything the job requires. The technical interview is broken and has been for a long time. I'm sad that as a society we accept leetcode or unrelated system design questions as a means to measure proficiency. The standard continues to rise in certain companies and lowers in others. I'm sure if I was in "interview mode", I could pass, but my position is not about knowing how to invert binary trees.
