They weren't trying very hard to hire before that. I'd get a lackluster "heyyyy! do you want to reinterview" every 6 months or so. I'd explain my situation (senior enough that if you send a junior person to interview me with a leetcode question, the hiring team made a mistake) and they wouldn't even reply.

Sounds like you were ghosted for being full of yourself. Judging from your 2013 account creation, you would have been leveled at either senior or staff, during which you would still be expected to complete coding interviews. Meta, like Google and hedge funds, only stops asking candidates to write code after they become very established leaders in their field, such as Carmack.

I never had to write code for any of the hedge funds I worked for and never saw leetcode style hiring at all at any point in my finance career.

I don't care about coding interviews. I care when extremely junior employees give me questions literally out of leetcode (I've seen enough to recognize the test cases). That's not a test for coding, nor does it have anything to do with the code I wrote over a decade at Google.

As high as engineering director candidates still need to pass a coding interview (at pretty relaxed standards), and write code to clear tasks in bootcamp (just a few). If you won't get your hands dirty, even a little, to send a signal & land a job, then either you don't want it or you'd be a bad fit for it.

I. don't. care. about. coding. interviews. It's junior employees giving senior employees leetcode questions (find the subset of numbers whose sum is larger than a the largest prime...) with the test values straight from the leetcode site.
