Not sure why this is down voted. Perhaps in North America is different, but at least in Europe this strategy still works.

It also works in North America.

Outside of FAANG (and FAANG wannabes) I have never seen leet code stupidity. Nor has any of the people I know in the SW field (across multiple industries, fintech, aerospace, data analytics, etc.)

Whiteboard system design -- sure. Small practical example project, sometimes. But never that type of brain dead, artificial realtime algorithm coding.
