Leetcode problems are good because they select for people who are willing to put in the hours to get good at them. Aka, hard workers. Above all else, what predicts success at a job is work ethic. This is even more true at FAANG.


The hardest workers I know put up with the least bullshit.


Putting up with bullshit is also a desirable characteristic for FAANG


Sure. It just doesn't test work ethic.
