Apply to companies that don't do whiteboarding/phoneboarding. I don't know, maybe this is a US thing, or the Big Four thing, but down here in London I am yet to encounter a company that does whiteboarding.

- kostarelo 8y ago3 out of 11 interviews I made the past month for my first job in London (mostly full stack senior developer roles, Nodejs/JavaScript) included a live pair programming or a whiteboard excersice. I failed miserably on all of these 3. I signed for the role of Senior Product Engineer just today in a pretty fast growing startup company.
- dabockster 8y agoIf you live near enough to a tech hub, you have to assume you're going to be code screened and whiteboarded. Companies around here (Seattle) use it as a cost cutting measure so they don't have to spend time and money manually interviewing every single candidate. It's significantly cheaper to enforce a competition-style coding challenge and pick off the top 5-10% performers (example figure) of the challenge for the actual interview.
