I just came out of the job hunt, and I disagree about preferring take-home tests to leetcode. I much prefer the timeboxed leetcode scenarios to a project with no defined end aside from the specifications. The expectations for the takehome never seem chasee to me. I might solve the exercise in 4 hours, but how do I know the other candidates aren't pouring days into the exercise? Leetcode with a time constraint allows me to prepare for a known quantity. |

Most take assignments are throwaway code, but once in a while they are things you can add to a portfolio and expand on. Also if you finish and need to reaapply to another position you’re already done.
Definitely a time consuming practice, but i like knowing what I’m getting into versus the mystery of leetcode. Short and sweet is the key though. Someone else mentioned live pair coding on some revelant feature , I think those are ideal
