I ramped up to do a bunch of interviews last year after some covid layoffs and, I'd rather the format stayed in its current form. It isn't great, but I can study one style of interviews and apply that across the board to all the companies I interview for. The system interviews are easy, it's just talking about side projects or work I do for a living anyway. After ramping up and successfully landed a role last year I do a couple of leetcode questions every few days to keep my skills sharp. I have been burnt doing so many take home exercises, getting ghosted, zero feedback declines that I am drawing a line under the sand and not doing them anymore. The alternative is prepping for many different interview types, sometimes full of people blindly happy for candidates to burn a weekend in homes of getting a callback, other-times full of unprepared, unmotivated interviewers who pull crappy nonsensical tests out their ass. No thanks. While the leetcode style isn't perfect at least it's reasonably standardized and consistent. I'll stick with that thanks.
