I got my yearly review recently and I got very good feedback. At the same time I have been doing Leetcode at home for fun, starting with easy problems, and I get my ass handed to me.

I find it hard to reconcile these two experiences. How can I thrive at a top tech company while failing to solve an 'easy' coding challenge. It makes me concerned about what would be of me if I had to look for a new job now.



Thats exactly what your top tech company wants. For you not to look for a another job. For you not to try to get a higher salary.
