Thank god I never had these interview questions at the companies I interviewed for, here in Germany. Most talks were simply a 30min chat with the actual developer there. Mostly about the job, what they do, and some of their current issues. Then they would ask me how I would tackle them.

Yup, can sign that. Never had a coding interview so far... It is all about sympathy and being knowledgable. Had the most success by being brutaly honest about not knowing certain technologies. But I also show a lot of interest once I do not know something.

It's roughly the same in France, aside from some startup bros who have been told leetcode and brainteasers are the way of unicorns. I think it's in part due to the higher trust we put on credentials like Eng degrees.

I studied with people from many countries and I think the french people were very qualified students in general.

There were students from Greece and Iran who, after a bachelor degree in computer science, could not find the highest value in an array.
