This time last year I reached out to recruiters at a few agencies, but took a different position. I want to reach out again this year but do I now look unreliable?

I personally feel it can't hurt to reach out. When taking a job you don't owe anything to anyone but yourself. If those options weren't right at the time, they just weren't right and you needed to take what was right. That said, since it didn't work out just a year later, be honest about how you were feeling and where you want to go now. Recruiters still have an incentive to make money off you and sure maybe they won't try AS hard with you, but I still think it's worth reaching out and again being honest and explaining your situation so they understand.

I wanted to get people's opinions on leetcode, codewars etc when prepping for interviews. I am a junior full stack dev looking to move to a better paying junior role or a mid role and honestly these style of questions have always stumped me. I have found that in a year of work to have never found them useful in tackling real world issues. Now I'm moving from a junior to a mid can I still expect leetcode style questions?

I work mainly with react, TS, node, graphql, mongoose and mongoDB.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
