What is considered a medium problem? Is this in terms of equivalence of problem levels found on leetcode and such? I have yet to do the grind. My current job is great and pays FAANG level- I hope to not have to engage in this crap.

Medium is defined as Leetcode's problem tagged in Medium category. It is quite blurry to be honest because some questions should be on Easy category and some Easy questions should be Medium and some Medium should be Hard and some Hard should be Medium.

That's good, keep that! Don't get involved in this crap. I have to do it out of necessity.

On leetcode they are literally marked "Medium". Mostly questions that involve some sort of BFS or DFS on graphs, figuring out the next available time slot in a meeting calendar, figuring out the best time to buy and sell a stock given the daily price, stuff like that.
