For everyone who finds the removal of admission tests ridiculous, how do y'all feel about leetcode?

  From what I’ve seen interviewees hate it (this is dumb busy work) but interviewers love it because of the absolute deluge of incredibly inappropriate candidates they receive.

  I spend my time working on open source or other products instead of leetcode prep. This means I don't apply to FAANG roles.

  Leetcode easies are fine, and that's all most companies outside of FANG ask in my experience. I've done interviews myself, and atleast 30% of candidates fail a problem that simply required a for loop to solve (no trees, no algorithms, just simple loop through list and do x). And if companies dropped the degree requirement and only asked leetcode mediums, I'd consider that fine honestly. Most of what I learned through college was useless to my career, 6 years out of college and I think I'd struggle to name even 25% of the classes I took.

  I don't expect my employees to solve problems on the spot, why would I expect it of interviewees? I give them a short take-home challenge, and it has worked well so far - I have a great team.
