Ask HN: What tech companies don't use Leetcode-style interview questions?
Are there tech companies that don't ask those kind of algorithmic interview questions or have these become standard like SAT for college admissions?
in my experience even for staff engineer or principal they want leetcode BS interviews
regardless of what you think, for every engineer you can find an executive or marketing person better compensated.
on the marketing topic yeah, but for SWE you dont need a good school/social skills/a ton of experience. you just need raw algorithmic skills
to be a good SWE you do need experience, a CS degree, coding skills, social skills, creativity, and more. lots of things leetcode doesn’t measure.
But I still hold, you just need leetcode. They dont measure anything else, aside from system design, which is similar in its need to be memorized.
leet is fine for junior, but algo's don't come up in real life all that often.
