I have so far not done a full Leetcode myself and I dont consider it an especially good approach. But I want to share a couple of thoughts. If these interviews in general, follow a form of template as to what they contain, what to expect, how answers should be presented, then studying it, while time consuming is not that hard. It can function as a form of "proof of work". That you took the time to prepare yourself for the interview will be points in your favor. Like putting on some nice clothes and brushing your hair. and putting together nice CV. The second part is to perform under stress. I hate this part of modern interview processes. They want to give you something difficult, then spinkle with some rudeness and abrasive comments. Will the candidate work under pressure or not? Coming from the consulting world, perhaps that is more common in that sector than others.

> then studying it, while time consuming is not that hard. I’m in a mentoring group that includes a lot of people looking for jobs and studying LeetCode. Two themes that come up over and over again: 1. People overestimate the difficulty of practicing LeetCode. Reddit and other sites make it sound like you need to take 3 months off to grind LeetCode full time, but most people can do 1-2 problems per day in their spare time, lunch break, or other small window of time. You don’t need to do rote memorization of every problem on some list found on the internet. 2. Actual LeetCode interviews are rarely as hard as people expect. People think they’re going to get LeetCode Hard problems that require obscure tricks, but the vast majority are Easy and Medium.
