Ehhhhh. I'm about 4 years into my career and am trying to transition to working on a distributed team in a startup. I have a four-hour, seven question pair programming thing coming up after my second interview, so I've been reviewing cracking the coding interview and practicing leetcode to make sure I pass the screen. I've spent my entire career solving real world problems, but it always comes back to tricky logic puzzles or deriving best case runtime complexity on paper with these interviews even still, and even for non-FAANG companies. I regret not just reading cracking the coding interview every couple of years and passively leetcoding at this point because I still might fail this technical screen. And that does suck.
