Just don’t do them? I have around 10 years of experience, in a similar place as you. I refuse any leetcode or hackerrank request.

I interview pretty regularly, move jobs every couple months. Probably receive 2-3 offers a month without doing any leetcode.

You move jobs every couple months?

Just around that time. I work 4 SWE jobs so I tend to move around quite a bit. It comes out to maybe a new job every 4-6 months.

Are these full time roles are are you taking purposely short contracts?

I always wondering about doing the latter. I get bored very quickly, but don’t want to risk hopping full time roles too quickly.

3 full time roles and 1 part time contract.

I get bored quickly as well. One of main reasons I started working multiple jobs (the money is nice as well).

You do 3 full time jobs simultaneously?
