Keep hitting leetcode, try again, and pray harder... that's what everybody else is doing.

I had a co-op who used to be chill, laid back, and wasn't strong from engineering perspective (a wee bit lack of passion too). All he did was leetcode and he got MSFT -> Google.

Bit scary to know that yet say it. There's many ways to scale the same mountain, perhaps going the packed out tourist route isn't the best for most? Might take a bit longer.

Alternatives:

build a startup and pray to get acquired

join a startup and pray to get acquired (there's still a post acquisition interview though)

contribute to OSS and pray G/F noticed and maybe ask to hire you (still have to go through some interview)

This ain't the old Silicon Valley anymore. Majority of the companies in SF applies Leetcode as filters.
