Never learned anything through leetcode I couldn't have learned more in depth by my personal projects. Leetcode feels like some bullshit you talk about on LinkedIn in an LLM like voice, as is

> We all know skills in programming are important

>But it is not just writing code, but also solving problems quickly and with the right tools.

>Before doing leetcode, I didn't really know how to tackle the challenges I was presented at work. I would still perform, but not like I do now, being on the top 100 leaderboard

>also please please hire me please I am starving

Leetcode is pretentious bullshit for american HR departments.

Leetcode may be wrong but it is the reality if OP wants to get a similar big tech job. Unless he has a good connection.
