To be clear, I am looking for Engineering Manager position. It’s already hard to get response from companies. Even smaller companies (50 to 250 people) in Bay Area have adopted to this style of interviewing. It’s no longer just FAANG who do this kind of interviews. That makes it super frustrating.

Yeah, everyone's thinking they are the next FAANG and they need to copycat their interview style. Coupled with the fact it's so easy to outsource technical interviews to leetcode/hackerrank, they'd be thinking why not?

Well, you might really have to play that game if you do come across THAT company which you are really interested in and they unfortunately, practice leetcode style interviews. Then you'd be glad you are already prepared for it than not.
