This is irrelevant. No interview can accurately reflect actual job behaviors.
Job interviews are a proxy. Either they produce false positives/negatives or they don’t. It doesn’t matter that the proxy isn’t 1:1 with day-to-day.
I sympathize with job seekers dealing with leet code interviews. But I’m somewhat over the million blog posts that say the same thing. I’d be much more interested in hearing from the other side. Hiring is a nigh impossible task. People rarely share reproducible alternatives. Only hand wavey gut checks. It’s unfortunate this is the best we’ve come up with. Hiring is hard!
