I think it’s more akin to applying for a driving job but they test you on your running rather than your driving. Where you should be practicing your running anyway to maintain your ability to be an alert and healthy driver, but it’s not likely necessary for every driver to be in tip top physical shape to be a good driver.

Some of the interviews at lower paid shops I’ve either participated in or rejected have had more stringent requirements like weird whiteboard questions in the interview while working on more simple implementations (including shops where I found you won’t even be issued your own machine. You partner solely and share) than places where the work will be significantly more difficult and significantly better paid the environment more adult and the perks better.

I know FANG et al employ those tests for various reasons. I think a lot of other places just blindly emulate it.
