When does Leetcode no longer matter for interviews?

I see some companies (especially famous ones) are still obsessed over these leetcode type questions in interview rounds even for experienced folks, it’s frustrating.

Hello awesome Devs!! How do you keep up the motivation to grind leetcode after a regular job? For example, I am a software developer with 1 YOE and I find it boring to continue with those algorithm problems after a certain threshold. But anyway, I feel the hiring process is still the same for most and there would at least 2 DSA rounds for most of the product based companies. How do you keep up the motivation for this?

Hey SDEs and techies out there, plz give me an info. I have been consistently practicing DSA for the past 4 months , I have solved around <200 problems. Now when can I consider myself an interview ready? I can understand that "mere count" doesn't matter, but as an employee/hiring manager/Recruiter how much of Leetcode (say 3000+/500+ problem) will attract you to check out the profile/give referral/get interested in? What else will you look out for in a candidate with 2YOE? Your insights will be valuable. Thanks a ton

Got placed last year ,then never touched leetcode again. Now starting once again as I plan to make a switch. My leetcode profile looks so bad with those gaps 😮‍💨 Any suggestions on how to get interviews and Excel then ?

I got the first 2 rounds of interview with Microsoft scheduled just now, but the recruiter just told me to focus on Coding, system design, ML and data science and could not elaborate further. Can anyone who has interviewed with microsoft tell me what the rounds would look like?

I'm a 4th year student from a pvt college. Did 3 internships, one in a decacorn, one in a unicorn. Have an offer from Amazon for SDE 1 when i graduate, and one from the company I'm working at right now. Reached so far only with development skills, projects, hackathon wins and OSS contributions. My leetcoding and competitive coding skills are downright garbage. I have absolutely no motivation to become a leetcode monkey and get more offers, but given the current market scenario, seems hard to get good offers without mugging up 800 leetcode questions. Folks in software engineering who made it with leetcode, how did you do it, and what did you do to kill that builder urge and mug up leetcode. I can't do this anymore.

How nang lc problems are enough to crack T1 companies in India?

Recruiter reached out to me and have the screening round coming up. I read that the interview process at Stripe is unique and there are rounds for fixing bugs, doing integration, etc. Can anyone shed some more light on this and how to prep?
