Took me 1.5 months, after what was effectively a 3 year misstep. I took a 6 month gap. Note, I didn't say you have to write stuff you'd brag about every time. Just be able to do it sometimes. Pro tip: Use python. Even if you don't use the language normally. It is so good at the questions used in leetcode.
