That is not an option in this environment; too many companies use that as the gatekeeper. From a company's point of view, if someone refuses to take the test, that's okay because there are hundreds of other applications who will gladly do it.

I have managed to avoid them in my 20 years in industry. I once interviewed and they wanted me to do a take home coding exercise to build a CI/CD system in Python (with a scheduler). No one does that - we use GitLab, Bamboo, Jenkins, etc.

Not a LeetCode example but my point is the coding exercises are silly.

(Plus Activision was apparently using Perforce at the time and not git)

How long ago was that?
