I sure as shit hope you don't breeze through. Why should practicing mental leetcode questions prepare you for a job interview in the real world? In my company, you wouldn't breeze through, because we don't participate in 'whiteboard culture', or maybe those sorts of companies you have self selected out of?

I'd rather breeze through a process I've no control over. Don't hate the playa, hate the game!!!

Your company isn't the only one in the world though, and the sad reality is that many, many (I'd say in the US - most) companies use leetcode interviews.

If you become a Master of Leetcode, you benefit from massive horizontal scaling that will make you ready to interview at a huge range of companies.

As the parent posted, hate the game, not the player, especially since nearly everyone here is in no position to change the game.
