Sorry you feel this! I agree, leetcode is no good.

The nice thing is that there are lots of jobs out there that don't require leetcode skills. Sure, there are many jobs that do, too, but you can avoid them by looking at the job req.

Source: I too am bad at leetcode but have had many jobs in my career, including three different employers since 2019.

How do you figure out the leetcode employers from the non-leetcode ones? I refuse to interview at a few major companies because I know that's how they roll. I actually love coding and am good at it. I just refuse to spend weeks/months studying for I consider a useless test.
