> Maybe in Europe it is different? There is still a coding part, but is somewhat relevant to the job position Anecdata: In Europe but have had more than a handful of these nonsense Leetcode tests. Normally for companies with an inflated sense of their own worth - but possible to spot this from their mission statement, website, etc. and avoid them. |

This is also my experience, crappy Berlin startups that pay poorly and expect you to jump through hoops and work long hours. I switched to contracting and haven't had to do any of these silly tests, I usually discuss the project and my past projects and that's enough. A few times I've been asked to do a take home challenge which I don't mind and actually quite enjoy. Separated from the interview process I find some of the leetcode type challenges kind of fun, like doing a puzzle but they have been of very little practice use to me in my work.
