The Swift team released a VS Code plugin recently. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't do live preview, but considering how often Xcode fails to render live previews, I'm not seeing that as much of a loss.
140k a year in most of the countries in the EU would mean you are working in trading/banking or some Big Tech, which means they probably had to do go some of the leetcoding to end up there.
Contractor do pass f** leetcode tests to enter the banking sector, as well as weird interview about DevOps and agile. The comp is the best though, easily 2x what you do in more 'interesting' avenues. And the code is changing from 95% Java to python/TS/go + 50% Java (gotta keep those Jenkins and airflow going).
