I’ve interviewed with many of those listed. They’re not struggling for talent. They all have a very high hiring bar. I’ve seen them reject many people (besides myself) on trivia and whether or not you studied the right set of problems on LC. For instance, could you regurgitate topological sort out in less than 20 minutes to solve a problem? You forgot the implementation but generally know what it’s used for? Failure. You’re a failure. Even if you know how to solve the problems but get tripped up on some simple parts of the algorithm because you haven’t really studied or used it in years, failure. Same with system design type interviews and other stuff. The bar is very high for people who will never use any of that work. It’s hazing.
