I feel like this is fed by anxiety. I really doubt a large amount of ordinary companies have switched to FAANG leetcode + system design interview formats because of a downtown.
I think HN is over-represented by people who work at a FAANG or would like to. They're probably not applying to many jobs at mid-tier companies.
I don't know when that change happened but it is practically universal
In my experience about 40% do.
I've never had an issue simply showing an open source past project I created, going through my portfolio of other project examples, and my resume.
Ya know... I posted that without experience in the current market. It was more of a "this is what it was like a year ago" sentiment.
Thinking more about it... I can see how 40% is too low an esimtate.
Thanks, good to hear what it is currently like out there on the job hunt. I am about to begin one myself.
for desirable employers with competitive pay, I'd guess closer to 80%.
People often speak of the mystical company that doesn't make you code in the interview, but I haven't come across it once in the current market.
I also don't know how comfortable I'd be joining a team that doesn't make me write code in some capacity during the loop... but I also recognize the ridiculousness of expecting correctness, optimal solutions, or the types of questions being asked. Discussing those things, sure, but expecting regurgitation is nonsense.
