yep. They also ensure that anyone wanting to move on will probably be doing most of their day Leetcoding. Because you're going to stay at a tech job 1-2 years max and it takes most people probably 6+ months (kids, family, etc.) to ramp up from nothing. Once you have LC down and did the hard part, you need to retain it. Which means constantly doing problems.
Our industry is a burnout treadmill.
- wonderwonder 4y agoI agree. I would argue that a large portion of those meeting the "dead weight" definition are just truly burnt out.
