Absolutely, yes. The main reason is that my company (Notion, https://www.notion.so/jobs https://www.notion.so/jobs) uses practical interviews, not CS algorithms based brain teasers. So my everyday work is exactly the practice I would need to pass the interview. Our frontend pipeline tests your ability to design and implement components in a UI framework. Our backend pipeline tests your ability to design and implement APIs and services in an HTTP framework.

There are a lot of jobs listed there with zero benefits listed in the actual job listing. You have to scroll >1/2 down the page to find out what the benefits are and those are fairly vague. Why isn't there at least compensation listed?

  Almost no one lists compensation

    I know, it's not a good trend.

      I think soon New York City will require posting the salary range at least.

Thanks for sharing and for reaching out. Good to know that there are companies doing real world practical interviews. Currently there you don’t have anything for EU remote, but I’ll keep Notion in mind. I’m sure that other HN users will benefit from your openness, interview process and available position. You comment (and other similar comments) is one of the many reasons I like HN :-)
