Recently gave an interview where they asked me to open my Leetcode profile, and checked if there are any prior submissions to the asked questions. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I sincerely hope you walked out of that interview without accommodating that request. Would hope you mind naming the company only so others can avoid it?

Treating a candidate as suspects seems to be a new low, even for the tech industry.

An interview is a two way street. That person probably did you a favor though by letting you know what your potential coworkers and/or company culture was about.

Interesting! I suppose one could prepare for that by having a second profile with just a few questions solved?

Solve all the questions you don't want them to ask!

Seems like a flawed system. I would just use a fake profile or say I only used CTCI as prep.

Nice, so now everyone has to further game the system by deleting their real profiles, making fake ones, and saying, "I don't use Leetcode."
