EDIT> I've never done leetcode. I've looked at Project Euler, but I have my own interesting side-projects to do instead of jumping through hoops for someone else.

Why do you want to program? What do you want to program? Programming is a tool and a craft, like literacy and creative writing. But it is in service of some goal or just the pleasure of doing it.

lol, EDITFAIL

I want to make money to pursue other pursuits with financial security. I also like it decently and thought it was my best shot I had to make money.

Why not just go pursue those other pursuits then? I'm not connecting the dots here on how working at bigco helps the long term goals instead of just delaying them.

They cost money rather than generate money.

So the goal is to generate money? Why not try for the big stock trading/investing firms then, those people tend to make more than the tech people.
