Start building things. Volunteer for open source projects. Make some pet projects. Go to meet-ups, join mailing lists/discords, network. Get hired for minimum wage on very small projects (but make sure somebody pays the taxes). Add them to your resume. Get contracting gigs (contractors rarely have to pass the scrutiny full-timers do). Join a startup. FAANG may not hire you on these alone, but I would, and so would many others. We want to see that you can build something, and we want to see you have made lots of mistakes and learned lots of lessons. After you have proven yourself, you don't need to do leetcode. Then you just have to worry about the rest of the interview...
