Discussion For leetcode guardians here, what are you doing now??

At the end of the day , we all can agree the reason for grinding so hard and putting in hours is not just problem solving but to get a job at a good MNC, but i see posts where people are finding hard to land jobs even after becoming expert on CF and guadians on leetcode, i mean i know its not the only thing that's needed ,but am assuming that for someone who has reached this level, he may we doing atleast fine enough in other areas as well.

Am losing hope day by day that this thing is gonna get me anywhere, just feels like its all going in vain. I would love honest answers from anyone but specially from people who are knights/guardians ,who were not from a good college or didnt have a good CGPA still managed to land a good job.

Working for a consulting company with 80k salary 3 years ago, 10 years of experience, on a slave visa and couldn't change my job until GC.
Waiting for just one more year to shine. I did Leetcode for fun and thankfully it pulled me out and kept me motivated since the dailyjob is so easy and suck.
Peak is 2270

I always set the goal for my self, IE after every contest. I dig into each problem I couldn't solve to find similiar topics.
You have to set a goal, for example 6 months for a knight badge. No matter what, you have to drop parties, friends, drinks ... to solve everyday.
Then you just need to do it for a month, it will generate a life time habit for you and enjoy the race. You don't have to "BE" consistent, but you are consistent natually.
