60 is quite low for leetcode. There are a few dozen patterns to learn. Most people will probably do on the order of 200-300 before they are truly comfortable. I've heard some people do it in as little as a month or two with 8 hour days. But most people can't do that because you will go insane and suffer extreme burnout.

> if you spend that much effort

yeah that doesn't start until like 400+ LC problems. If you're still struggling with mediums at that level then sure. But at <200? That's entirely normal.

Sure you may get lucky and get in Google with 10 LC problems under your belt. But those are not good odds. Places are asking LC hard nowadays. And you really don't want to see what people in India are putting up with.
