If you were real deal you'd be interviewing for quite high level and most likely targeted hire, without any of leetcode. It seems that you were considered drone

  they shortcut me to just a few interviews rather than the full 7 interview cycle. but i failed the typical leetcode trick question so no deal.

  The real deal often gets treated like a drone by potential employers. You make the mistake of believing they know how to accurately assess who is the real deal. Plus, people who are the real deal are "coming up" all the time and they need to start somewhere.

    That’s the thrill of the aqui-hire but that person is frequently out as fast as they can get out because they can’t stand the new culture. If it is Google they are going to trash all your old code and re-write it in a hurry to make it scalable but unmaintainable anyway.

  Large companies follow the lawnmower principle. I interned at a large company a few years ago, my code is in their public repos, had an offer from them on two prior occasions (that I did not accept), and still when I get calls from their recruiters, they want me to do coding assignments. I would point the recruiters to my code in their repos, my own public repos, papers etc., but no dice. Computer says no. On the last such call, I told them that I've done these before and that they may have them somewhere. The recruiter said they changed their systems many times over and there is no record. I was tempted to dig up my own laptop to find their old assignments, but decided to fck it. Ain't nobody got time for that.
