I have attended some cool interviews for niche openings in business and academia, where there were one or two stages only, no LeetCode, and no other strings attached. These were all EU-based or remote. Basically, I had to discuss some my prior work, including architectural and implementation decisions, with particular pointers to code. For example, one was at a new Haskell group in a Swedish SME based in Skåne. Another one was for a permanent scientist position in a prominent UK university. Questions were constructive, interviewers had clearly gone through my CV in detail, and they were also interested in selling me the advantages of the job opening. Since I also have quite a lot of experience and some public code, they had neither time nor interest in testing what I know through coding problems. Pay at EU is a bit lower than what you are used to, but these might have other kinds of benefits.
