Are you suggesting that these jobs don't mainly consist of quickly banging out dynamic programming and DFS/BFS traversal algorithms as quickly as possible while a stranger stares at you? From interview experience, I assume this is what engineers mostly do at these companies all day.

- vonseel 5y agoMy brother is an MD and I showed him some Leetcode prep material since I am studying for interviews. Specifically, a problem from Grokking the Coding Interview. His response - “It would be helpful if they then showed how that is used in real world code“. I had to tell him I don’t think these kinds of scenarios come up often in real-world use cases, haha. They are essentially coding puzzles to filter for people who are good at solving coding puzzles, which may or may not directly translate to being good at writing application code.
