I have enjoyed all my interviews I had in Sweden, and disliked all my interviews in US.

The typical process in Sweden is to just talk with the HM about a past project or your experience, no leetcode, no bs. Then you have another call with HR when they tell you if you got the job or not.

Typical process in US: Intro call with recruiter: 30 minutes

Technical screening: 3-4h, design questions and leetcode

HM interview: Asks you to walk them through your resume one more time, asks behavioural questions like, "Tell me about a time you had an disagreement with a collegue".

Followup call with recruiter: They will inform you that they are working on an offer

Offer call: You got the job!

No wonder it's hard to find good developers in the US, who got the time to go through a process like this unless you are unemployed?
