Maybe offtopic: are take home projects or whiteboard excersises still needed for senior and staff positions? I had the impression that for anything below senior, yes these things were required, but for anything equal or above senior, the focus was mainly: systems design and communication skills.

- ilc 3y agoWhen I was interviewing a year ago. They were required at all but one role I interviewed at. And I told them to test me anyways, despite them wanting to waive. If you are interviewing as a software engineer, you should be able to write FizzBuzz. Yes, it is stressful. Yes, I hate leetcode too. But, a company has every right to check that you at least know the basic skill you say you do.
