After numerous attempts at these software engineer interviews, I added the following disclaimer to my LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/mtodor/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mtodor/ and cover letters: "I have a personal policy against any type of live coding or online coding tests during interviews and I don't enjoy or engage in any form of competitive programming. Otherwise, I am happy to work offline on coding assignments with reasonable goals and deadlines and to have in-depth technical discussions about software architecture and design as well as relevant technologies." I'm still perfectly able to find suitable jobs with good pay as a software engineer and being upfront about the above policy prevents a lot of frustration and wasted time on my side. Yes, I do have to invest a lot more effort into looking for a suitable job, but, then again, I'd very much rather spend my free time doing that than going again through one of these interviews. PS: I have 14 years of work experience, currently working as a senior engineer / tech lead on cloud infrastructure and this is my 8th job.
