I feel there is a serious disconnect between what we do in our day to day job vs what's asked in interviews. I like learning new tech but I hate doing interview prep like doing Leetcode, LLD, HLD. I would much rather talk about the work that I am doing, my personal projects, etc during interviews but all high paying jobs like FAANG/big startups will always ask DSA and all during interviews regardless.
How should I spend my time in learning new tech vs doing interview prep as I feel the interviews have gotten much harder and it takes a long time to get proficient in DSA, LLD, HLD?
You will learn a lot things while preparing for interviews and then you can apply them in your projects as well. There will be lot new things which you haven't heard in your work which you can learn and get exposure. See the positives
