> I can successfully avoid companies that require LeetCode interviews. I thought I would be out of the market if I rejected such companies, but it turns out that's false! In my limited experience, around 50% of companies out there do not require LeetCode-kind-of interviews.

How do you know this detailed information ahead of time? It's not a surprise companies say they'll do technical questions, but those specific to LeetCode? They don't share that.



Honestly, at this point, companies should just list it in the job description to save everyone's time.

Not ahead of time. When one receives an offer from company X, you just ask: "you do LeetCode?"


You need to have done the interview to get the offer.
