I just finished several months of preparing for and doing (and failing) interviews, it was only adter i spent a month of Leetcode 8+ hrs a day that I started doing well and getting good offers. I also hated the game, I’ve been in software engineering over 20 years and was very resistant to this treatment but in the end I realized I’m not going to change the system but I am entirely capable of jumping through these hoops if I just try way too hard. My hack/advice for this is if you want to avoid it as much as possible look into mobile development, most mobile loops have little or no leetcode (except Meta and Google of course).
