Leetcode interviews are exactly how I, as someone from a non-traditional background, got a job at a tech company.

I didn’t need to know 4+ years of CS curriculum, which I never would have learned on my own. I just needed to spend some time learning algorithms and data structures, and practice using free resources on the Internet.

A pretty good deal for non-people who didn’t study CS in college.

In fact, someone who studied CS in college might be slightly miffed that they offered a job to an outsider like me just because I practiced data structures problems in my free time.
