I jumped through the hoops plenty of times. Just because I have to do it doesn’t mean I have to like it, or think it’s a good use of anyones time.

I think one can fairly accurately determine my level of skill from my resume, and thus I don’t think that the leetcode interviews are all that useful. I keep hearing about senior engineers who can’t code, and maybe I’m just lucky, but that really has not been my experience when interviewing, and I don’t think “spent the previous night practicing on hackerrank” really gives you any useful information.
