If it’s a job that wisely does not emphasize leetcode, you can skip those 150 hours of that.

yea but a lot of the super high paying ones do, so it's a small price to pay for a large paycheck
I have worked at multiple FAANGs and even small startups. I have never once seen anyone care about leetcode, GitHub punchcards, stack overflow score, or any of the social media stuff people boast about here. Literally none of this fits in to any evaluation rubric.

All it says is your hobby is programming.

Huh? It’s not about some profile scores it’s about practice. Leetcode type problems are asked at most (all) FAANG like companies.
I’m in a privileged position and have never done leetcode.
