I am so glad to see this. However, I feel often the problem is on the interviewer end as its very common to shoot algorithmic problems at FE engineers. I wrote down some of my ideas for hiring questions here: https://medium.com&#

Have you tried your local city's craigslist? I think you might be able to find employers there that are accommodating on schedule/time.
