I don't know, risky answer but I will give it nonetheless. This advice is given to many candidates, and I agree that Leet Code interviewing is bad and the industry needs to work on something better, but in the meantime, if you are starting out, think of it this way (and I have friends younger by 10 years or so and straight out of college and I say the same thing), a few months of studying gives you a huge salary. It's a win-win, and in the meantime, people will complain and hopefully the industry will fix it, but do not "Skip Leet Code" just because it's the cause du jour. That's just my opinion.
- iostream25 4y agoThere are a whole slew of Stockholm Syndrome answers here that effectively repeat the precise point you make. If it gets you the 6 figure salary, who cares about the corrosive bad practice remaining prevalent?
- why-el 4y agoI am not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing. If you agree, I'll take it. If your point is that we should try and fix it and not succumb to "Stockholm Syndrome", I say precisely that also, in the second part of my comment. We can both work to fix AND have folks get their money by studying. Often times what happens is someone young enough will read this and conclude there is no point to studying, and that is not good career wise on average.
