> They are hiring people based on leet code questions and school prestige and not based on real technical knowledge about systems

Isn't that true for almost all companies based in the Sillicon Valley?

The big companies, Google/Fb/etc hire that way but they also bring on niche experts. Leet code at those companies is for the code monkeys. They hire the people writing the ML/distributed systems/security code out of PhD programs and targeted hiring. Theres more to it, dont feel like typing it all up
