It's more level than literally everything else that pays comparatively. At least the single mom in Philly won't have the fact that she didn't go to Stanford completely invalidate her as a potential candidate when it comes to modern leetcode interviewing.

And when will the single mom in Philly find the time to memorize as many (or more, after all, its a competitive market) default-interview-questions, as someone born into wealth whith lots of free time on their hands and the financial resources to pay someone specializing in prepping them for exactly these interviews?

So, what did really change?

I don't see how this invalidates my original point, can you expand on your argument?

[usrbinbash]

What's the prerequisite for getting good at these questions? Practice and Memorizing.

What resource is required to do that? Time.

What resource is in short supply to the Philly single mom?

Ok, so which comparatively-paying job is a better choice for her then?

Ha! OP said it’s a level playing field, I’m not arguing if it’s a better system than what you/him compare it to.

Just like how I would argue take-home/side/past projects are an amazing signal compared to credentials. I won’t dare to say it’s a level playing field.
