Can’t just be me, can it? Currently 0 for 3 on interviews because I can’t seem to get past the technical interview/test. Usually because of some crazy complicated algorithm question that’s never been relevant to anything I’ve ever had to do on the job in all my years coding.

Also, while I’m ranting: screw the usual non-answer when given feedback.

    If you find some that are reasonable then I consider you lucky. I have not. They’ve only ever proven to be an absurd waste of time in my experience.

      I only got quite simple tests tbf, but I don’t look for senior positions. Main thing is to just get the problem solved writing decent code (if it’s a home assignment) or to walk them through your reasonings

      The only time I got a leetcode waste of time it was a Dijsktra/A* problem (which I failed)
