Your comment starts from the assumption that LeetCode-style interviews are common because they work or are, at least, the best we can come up with at the moment.
There are many reasons why this could be the case, and it being the current best alternative is only one of them. Another that immediately comes to mind is survivorship bias.
- twblalock 5y agoHow does survivorship bias factor into this? What are some of the many other reasons you allude to? If there was a better way to do this at the scale of the software industry, the incredible incentives to find out how to do it better would have resulted in something by now.
- slt2021 5y agothere is no survivorship bias. Just compare random engineer from Big tech who knows leetcode to a random engineer from unknown company (like your local community bank IT guy) who never heard of leetcode and you will see the difference yourself. or better yet open your own high growth IT startup, raise few mills from VC and start hiring and see if you like leetcode interview or not.
