Apple Developer Documentation Is Missing

I agree with you that in an ideal world there'd be a way for you to demonstrate your prowess without playing these games. However, in the real world, I want a job, I'm going to play? It's not like I don't solve hard engineering puzzles for fun on my own time anyways. Framing matters a lot!

Here's what I like about interviews:

(1) I get to talk about myself and how great I am without people rolling their eyes at me.

(2) I get to solve a fun puzzle with:

(2)(a) A defined answer.

(2)(b) That I never have to maintain.

(2)(c) With a potential financial windfall at the end.

Seriously though, in Europe the Algorithmic style interview is not the norm, by and large

Plain old style interview, you get through HR, get a couple of interview rounds with people from different departments, discuss with them several subjects somehow related to work, positive and negative experiences across your career, what would you do if X happens,....

If you happen to do coding exercises at all, they are just basic tasks like implement a linked list data structure, count the number of words on a file and such.

Answer some trivia about the language you are supposed to use, e.g. when should you use a struct in C#.

Luckly only startups over here are somehow into SV hiring culture, which still leaves plenty of others with job offers available.
