When I encounter this during an interview, which I have, I don't accept the offer. Why would I want to go through an interview process that is completely unrelated to the job I will be performing? There is no expectation of success in that and its completely open to disappointment. Again, if you are a beginner you do what you must. Senior developers are fewer and in greater demand so they can afford to be a bit more selective.
- Hydraulix989 6y agoWhy aren't more senior engineers "selective" against these interviews? Easy: Because FAANG and the companies that do these interviews pay senior engineers THAT much more ($100's of k) than the companies that don't. Swallowing my pride and grinding through Leetcode for a month or two in preparation for tech interviewing was easily worth the extra boost in compensation.
