Yeah this is the shitty part of it.

I did eventually find success. But that took years of not just grinding LC, but so many failed interviews. And nearly $1k on mock interviews and books.

It's clear these companies are selecting for a very particular type of person, even if other types are just as capable of actually meeting/exceeding expectations once they've secured the job.

But I can't argue with the money so I put my body through hell to get there.

lol - truth. Sadly - my wife became my ex-wife over it. She wanted the $3m house but without the husband having to grind for it. :( (Of course - she didn't work)

What was the most helpful thing u did? mock interviews? books?
