> You’re going to have to grind Leetcode. Yes, even the dynamic programming problems.
Really? I would think contributing (significantly) to an open-source project would look better than spending time on leetcode, though I've never tried leetcode.
That would require the hiring staff being able to evaluate your contribution. Unlikely, unless the job you're interviewing for is interviewing because you made a useful contribution to a software that they use themselves.
In my experience interviewing, nothing on github or your resume will be read. The only thing that will be read is what you type into coderpad during your interview.
