> One also can (and should) be able to acquit oneself well at an interview even without prep time.
I don't agree. If you don't prepare at all for an interview, it shows. Aside from leetcode, it's also important to research the company.
My point is mainly that I might be upset if I were in that group that's laid off today. I don't want to prep leetcode for several weeks. It feels like a waste of time.
I've never prepared for an interview in my life, and I've never had any difficulty. Anecdotal of course, but I think prep for interviews is vastly overrated.
