Alternatively, don't pay the outrageous 15% of your salary on some overpriced leetcode course. Show some initiative and just leetcode and study DS/A on your own. I highly recommend anyone reading to not go to the shameless ad for formation.dev. do 3-4LC a day and work your way u

I would absolutely recommend what you suggest for a lot of people. Like I said above, everyone has different goals and need a personal recommendation for what's best for them. We have a high bar to work with someone and many people are not a good fit either.
Our team is unparalleled right now and we are striving to help people get to top tier companies, if that's not for you, don't do it.
Some members on our team:
1. FB, 8 years, E7, created coding machine archetype for
2. FB, 5 years, E7, advised Mark Zuckerberg and reported to the CTO
3. FB, 8 years, MSFT 10 years, created interview types, trained interviewers at FB
4. FB, 8 years, trained interviewers at FB
5. FB, 10 years, recruiter and ran internship program for thiusands of interns
6. Many others, one person ran bootcamp career services at several bootcamps over 8 years, 8 years of marketing at FB, and many people with amazing experience as well.
To show what I mean about top tier, the last 20 signs unedited, in order are: Meta, Cloudtrucks, Plaid, 1Password, GitHub, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Google, Snap, Akasa, Atlassian, Pandora, Atlassian, Amazon, Promise Pay, Square, Capital One, Facebook, Amazon
The range of backgrounds varies all over the place and I reemphasize that everyone is different and needs personal advice.
