There is a shortage of senior talent. For entry level I don’t think there is any shortage. And for seniors I do see much more flexibility in waiving these types

  Based on my experience, system design questions (in the spirit of [0]) are getting more popular/important for senior candidates. For instance, my M1/M2 interview at Facebook had only one coding round, but three system design rounds (one phone screen, two onsite), and I was explicitly told up-front that that coding round was weighed less than the others (though it still mattered and can filter you out). Personally, I thought this was shift in focus was pretty reasonable. I didn't prepare much at all for system design and relied on my real-world experience, which feels like how an interview for a senior candidate should go.
