This is why I decided to switch majors to CS after starting out as a CE major. Even at a college with a solid CE program known for landing CE's at Apple, Google etc it became pretty clear to me that my CS friends were really good at CS and my EE friends were really good at EE and I was well... okay enough at both but interviews for internships both on the EE and CS sides weren't consistently solid.

Per your question, although I hate leetcode - it's likely a good place to start polishing or establishing some new fundamentals in the language of your choice. I wouldn't worry too much about building a portfolio and as others have mentioned - you'll have an easier time breaking in as a PM.
