I feel so exhausted. I have been looking to land a new job for the last 2 years, but I havent managed to get any offer whatsoever. It's not generally a problem to get interviews (at least until the beginning of this year), recruiters seem to like my profile and I was directly approached by Meta, Google, Amazon and Apple, and many other companies, from small to big ones. I even got a chance to interview for Deepmind. I know that my main problem is Leetcode, I suck at it, and after doing ~400 problems I don't know what else to do about it. But because of this, I often reach the screen call only, and I get rejected straight away.
But even the few times when I managed to reach the on-site, I had a hard time for various reasons, especially with system design. I work mostly with C for computer graphics in a HW company, I don't have a chance to learn anything on distributed systems aside from reading books and watch videos on YouTube. But I feel so annoyed to spend my evenings and weekends on this, I would much prefer spending my time in a more productive way.
I don't know how to get better at doing interviews, I dedicate most of my free time to prep but all I've collected so far are rejections. I feel stuck with my career, in my current role there is no room to grow, and I just want out.
