Better advice: Leetcode is easy as shit. Suck up your pride and be good at it. You’ll rake in money getting companies to fight over you. I had a $670k offer that’s appreciated to $1m/yr. The company I joined didn’t ask LC, but it still mentally prepared me for the questions I got.

You are absolutely right from your angle, but this is the perfect example of why the process is wrong. Nobody should be using something as trivial as leetcode to choose people they are willing to pay $1M.

How else do they decide? They’re doing a behavioral round, system design, manager interview, etc. But being able to implement, traverse, and analyze complex data structures and apply them to a problem is essential.

There’s a class of delusional people who think a GitHub profile is sufficient. Outside of a minority of technical influencers that is absolutely wrong and unreasonable.

Bingo!

This comment must be satire, or peek hubris. Please tell me you are joking. I hope N-gate writes a bit about this comment, or about me for not clearly knowing if this is a joke or if it's real.

If you're not kidding, you are so delusional that I don't even know where to start.

If you are kidding than to did a damn good job!
