There's an entire planet of jobs that have nothing to do with leetcode. I was talking about those, not FAANG stuff. Unfortunately I am not FAANG royalty.

>Of course some still do, like Anthropic were you have to have a perfect score to 4 leetcode questions, automatically judged with no human contact, the worst kind of interview.

Should be illegal honestly.

5 years ago non-FAANG companies were fully in leetcode mode for interviews. Maybe 10-15 years ago you could totally avoid it without much problem.

It might be illegal; certainly if you can show that LC is biased against a protected class, then there would be grounds for a lawsuit.

I can't imagine this kind of entitlement. If you don't want to work for them, don't study leetcode. If you want to work for them (and get paid tons of money), study leetcode. This isn't a difficult aristotelian ethics/morals question.
