Missing out on jobs because of LeetCode


Missing out of jobs because of LeetCode At the end of the last year, my previous workplace ( Weaveworks ) went bankrupt. I found myself without a job. I didn’t have to interview for a long time and I certainly wasn’t planning on it any time soon. I enjoyed my work. Thus, I started to learn a bit because I forgot how to interview. I refreshed my knowledge on LeetCode, I did some exercises, I read some books, post, whatever. I refreshed my algo knowledge because that’s what people most likely will ask, right?

architecture and design of more complex systems I read the primer for this, but I neglected the details and got too lazy over the years. In any case, I focused so much on algorithms and coding, that I neglected the important bits and pieces of my knowledge. Workplaces should look for people who understand the relevant technology or show promise in learning about it or worked with something related.
