Funny you should mention leetcoding, that's another 'grind' I've flirted with for a few months here and there. It's alright I suppose, in that I made progress and could see it leading to a better job than I currently have, so it's productive in a way. But I still get the feeling that I'd just take 6-12 months focusing on improving my career, get a new job, and then a few months later feel like I'm right back to where I started. It's also interesting to consider that online success in this field is over-glamourized, and I've certainly had that thought. But I can't find a suitable replacement for something else worthwhile to aim towards. I don't care if I take my salary from 150k to 250k ya know. Seems like one of those 'some of us are wired to be discontent / restless' sort of things. On the startup/project front, do you find it harder at all to keep conviction towards a project longer term as you age?
