And I’m supposed to feel bad for you not wanting to spend a few weeks grinding at leetcode?
This reeks of someone who is very well off, and not an “Everyman” engineer.
grinding leetcode is some dumbshit waste of time that I'm not going to bother with -- I've got code to put in production and this simply is never a good use of my time. When you have an obnoxious hiring process that will take multiple hours for your special company, why would I even waste my time? I can click a few more buttons and have offers elsewhere anyways...
You're leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table. The hours/money ratio of studying leetcode is pretty good.
> for your special company
At least 1 round of leetcode questions is a requirement for every company I have interviewed with.
> I can click a few more buttons and have offers elsewhere anyways...
If that's actually true, then nevermind.
I hate leetcode too, but I think it's unwise to not conform.
