Now the problem is how to get into this kind of companies. Is LC hard mandatory for junior-senior (below lead) IC job?

I've never looked into their interview process, but considering what they have created I would guess that their coding problems go way beyond leetcode.
Definitely. But do they hire people who can immediately start groking those problems or grow them? I guess they are also picky about colleges too?
Probably not true for their front-end positions.
Hard part is getting an interview. It helps a lot to know someone already inside, and this is pretty much standard for all companies regardless of prestige.
If you're really well-known, they'll come to you. Otherwise, get an insider referral.
True. I need to work on my connections.
LC hard shouldn't be needed for almost any companies except ones which are delusional. LC hard are there as practice for programming contests.
Thanks. I did hear that contests can be way more difficult than LC hard. But I'm struggling with medium anyway.
