I’ve often wondered if I should be working for a high-growth VC funded company. Does it really make much difference when I still have to go through the same leetcode and interview when switching jobs? I still get left out if I fail the leetcode from the start. Not to mention, these high-growth companies are usually more demanding and long hours are expected. Is it worth it?

For senior roles CV/brand still weights. You need to be in initial shortlist then only leetcode and interview will be any help. I now work at a big brand high growth company and get pitched 2-3 new opportunities every week, although I have been in the current role less than 9 months. Previously I have to apply and rarely a recruiter approached me.
