I haven't heard of a single place that requires a candidate to be active as a "competitive coder" -- they just require that the candidate know what the hell they're doing. Don't project hyperbole onto the companies you're applying to, and don't be such a defeatist. Are you a good programmer? Do you understand core concepts of computer science? Are you capable of working with people?

2/3 of those will get you an interview. 3/3 will get you a job.
