Does grinding for months even work? The point of this post (and others like it) is that you can spend years doing leetcode without getting better. In comparison, I score far below most of my peers on conscientiousness but I find leetcode style problems easy. I'm a terrible hire in lots of roles because most companies' problems are boring. I have a history of getting bored and quitting. But I sail through these interviews.
If conscientiousness is what companies are going for, I think they're still interviewing wrong.
