Thanks. Sounds a bit rough. Personally, I refuse to do the Leetcode interviews, on either side of the desk. (When I'm on the receiving end of that nonsense, I can't afford the months to prepare for the hazing ritual. And, if the employer is doing things like they're Google circa 2010, how full are they of people who are thinking and working in a way that's self-sabotaging in every other time and place.)

I understand leetcode is a grind. I was unemployed so I had time to do it, but if you're looking to interview while working full time it certainly is overwhelming! I haven't learned too much from my studying, but as a non-cs background engineer it did help in a few ways, plus I think the structured practice of problem solving is helpful for any coding interview, whether practical or algorithm based.

  Understood. And I understand people pragmatically practicing for that ritual, given that it's been forced on the field by techbros and brogrammers. I'll just do what I can to promote better hiring practices going forward.
