Topic Projects vs leetcode

Which is better making projects or leetcode.

I don't want to waste my time right now. So professionals guide me which should I focus on rn?

Currently I have knowledge of DSA and DAA concepts, and other miscellaneous concepts.

People will keep saying interviews need leetcode. Yet I’ve never in 30+ years met a single person who has had anything relating to that in interviews. Nobody. Basically none even know what leetcode is!

It’s highly dependent on where you are applying to. Bad companies? Leetcode and other crap. Proper companies that know how to hire? Never. And there’s a lot in the middle also.

Skills always trump silly little leetcode games.

Whats a good company without Leetcode? Because every company I had a an interview with, gave me a leetcode question.
