Don't want to go too much into this, but thanks for the thoughtful response. > A couple leetcode questions is hardly a difficult task I don't have a problem with data structures and the like. I've been building software for >20 years. I can do pretty much anything I want with a computer. However, and I can't articulate this well, but where I come from "high pressure" things mean people are getting killed - it's not fun. I don't do hackathons either for the same reason. The whole argumentative style of communication doesn't work so I just stop answering. Like I said, they are filtering out people like me on purpose, and it's fine. > Did you try going to community college and transferring? That is not something I could do at this stage. I tried to get into a few online degrees which have a more flexible schedule. Several years ago, I did try to go to a community college, but none of my current bachelors credits would transfer (they are from an online school which no institution apparently counts as valid). So I'd have to start over from scratch. This is turning into a life story here. I have indeed tried - for a very, very long time. I've given up on the idea of going to school or working at some hip company now, and I've made peace with it. Anyway, thanks for asking.
