> Does someone with my experience really have to grind leetcode and memorize algorithms to prove his capability? Unfortunately yes, this is necessary for all of us at our level of experience. I have 15 years in the industry at great companies, and I still need to put myself through the horrible coding tests and take-home assignments even for engineering management roles. The good news is that in my recent experience, the better companies are doing a better job of these nowadays. I had to do lots of technical interviews, but only a handful had horrible algorithmic stuff while the smarter companies had me do things like reviewing a merge request and suggesting edits and architectural changes. There seems to be some recognition that the leetcode style interviews aren't necessarily returning the right signals.
