I think where the disconnect is occurring is that leetcoding on whiteboards, and home assignments are not the norm for many of us who are Senior. I have 20y+ experience in startups, unicorn, large companies, big data analytics, full stack applications, and system design. I am not asked to interview with whiteboard coding when someone wants to hire me from a referral. They are glorified meet and greets. This is what having a network of people who have worked with you before, and have seen your productivity does. You don't interview the same way other people do, people want you for you, because they know that it doesn't matter what the technology is, you're going to provide a crazy level of value, and they want that level of value in their situation.
