Is LeetCode necessary when applying for a junior or intern security auditor position?

[YoYiL]

I’ve finished the Solidity Smart Contract Developer course and will soon complete Smart Contract Security. I also plan to participate in the upcoming First Flight competition. I’m in my final MS year and plan to apply for a security auditor internship. Is LeetCode necessary? If yes, how much should I prepare before applying? Thanks in advance!

I don't think LeetCode is necessary for someone looking to be a smart contract security researcher; instead, participate in contests and dive deep into the codebase of real-world protocols to understand the nuances of things and how they design their codebases.

Any time.
