>Your ability to solve leetcode problems fundamentally determines your job prospects

For those companies that make you do leetcode problems.

For better or for worse, 95% of the places I apply to don't make you solve problems about algorithms or data structures. It's mostly about concrete knowledge in specific languages or frameworks.

I’m using the word leetcode loosely. The broader point is that doing well on job interviews is how you get a job and thus a worthwhile skill to practice. Leetcode is just what big SF tech cos ask in their interviews.
