Actually do interviews. After 20 you'll see what you should actually focus on, as opposed to cookie cutter problems that test memory vs. in-moment applications.
You do only phone ones or you take time to go do the interviews? Also, if you just interview and then don't keep practicing, aren't you gonna get rusty?
I've had quite a few so far...definitely more than 10. From my experience, coding problems can range from anything to anything. Wall street was more puzzly, but even the big4 sometimes ask very convoluted questions.
Not sure how to generalize everything but to solve random problems on Leetcode.
Take time to do interviews. Phone is just first pass, the real interview is when youre talking to another software engineer and mutually digesting a problem and seeing how you'd approach it. Stop thinking of interviews as a test and start thinking of interviews as a date. Do I want to spend my week with this person? Do I want to actually work on stuff with this person? Outside of maybe Google, these are the questions most interviewers are asking.

For me the experience has been different. Any company that seemed interesting to me, always asked C.O.D.E & ALGORITHM questions.
