Yes. I’d much rather leave money on the table than study for an interview. 20 years ago at the start of my career I might have considered it because academic knowledge was basically all I brought to the interview.
Now if my experience and track record convinces someone I’m a good hire, but my ability to implement something on a whiteboard is questioned? That job isn’t for me.
I’d be very happy to do a code review excercise, or implement a full system as a homework, or describe a project I wrote. But studying for knowledge that would remain in my head for maybe a day or a week? An interview process that selects for that is broken. I don’t want to work for a company that doesn’t realize that.
