That makes zero sense. Companies may want to increase friction for people leaving them but they want to DECREASE friction for people joining them. Using white boarding as part of your recruiting process would increase friction in the wrong direction.
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoIf everyone uses whiteboards and leetcode, existing employers win. Now, I'm less incentivized to join $NEW_FANG because I have other obligations in life and can't commit to that much leetcode. On second thought, it does lead into the OP's point: it seems like a legal proxy for age discrimination. New grads, which will work for less and offer no experience (beyond internships), will have more aptitude for leetcode-style assessment.
