The problem I see over and over is that the new "job relevant" interview formats are always way easier than the old interviews. It is not even close, maybe as high as by a factor of 10. People argue that we should make interviews more relevant to the actual work you do on the job. But in practice it looks a lot like we're really just trying to pass more people. Half the new "practical" questions are literally like make an http call, iterate through the array of objects and do some basic data transformation using map and filter. Or something. The actual thinking part is usually about leetcode easy, maybe low medium. Seriously, any time I see a "modern" non-leetcode interview I basically start rehearsing salary negotiations in my head. I suppose you could argue that's all that's needed to do 90% of modern software development, and so the new questions are measuring the right thing... but then doesn't that just indicate that modern software development is a joke and the job is not actually hiring developers to do anything difficult?
