Without the pressure/context of a job interview, I find Leetcode to be immensely fun :)

However, within the context of a job interview I do unfortunately find it to be a little insulting. I think, like other commenters have mentioned, these Leetcode style questions are only to see "will you tapdance" - which is totally fine.

Bingo. The benefits provided by employment are (unfortunately) a must have for folks in my position. Thanks for this input :)
