Thank you, this is great. I have sort of given up and started to practice leetcode in my free time. But would prefer to stop wasting my time on useless riddles.

Thank you, this is great. I have sort of given up and started to practice leetcode in my free time. But would prefer to stop wasting my time on useless riddles. I also hate take home projects, as they cost company nothing but I end up spending way too much time on these projects. Ideally, I would prefer if companies did conversational interviews like how other professionals are hired. None of my non-tech friends have to constantly demonstrate that they have skills to do their jobs.
