In several career focused communities where the majority of the readership is people with less than 5 (and often seeking first job)... where the focus is on Big N positions...

there is a common answer of “study leetcode”. No other advice, just the belief and assertion that all you need to get one of those jobs is to score higher than the other people.

This idea unfortunately perpetuates itself as one person advises another and a person.

The number of leetcode questions solved is used in the inevitable male appendage sizing contests.
