I actually did at one time, and it was fantastic. Then Agile was rolled out in that organization and ruined everything. Oh, the irony.

It sounds like some top-down management style mislabeled as agile was introduced.
So about 99.99% cases of "agile" from corporate standpoint.
In my experience 0%, if this is important working on your interview skills can help.
As so called "Individual Contributor", my interviewing skills have little impact on people 2 or more rungs of hierarchy above me.

Because that's who pushes "bad agile" so much, who is targeted by all the SAFe propaganda, who tells you to shut up or be fired when you tell them their brilliant ideas about how SCRUM is to be done across the company result in unnecessary friction with no benefits. (I nearly quit there and then because of that talk)

And due to geographical constraints I can't exactly shop around as much as if I lived, let's say, on west coast of USA.

So, "working on my interview skills" doesn't change anything, except maybe grinding leetcode so I can tasteore of the fecal rainbow of corporate agile.

I've left 2 companies that have reorganized around SAFe, and I'm currently at the third one now. It's a malignant egregore that I can't escape
