I wish there was a job board where the interview process only entailed actual context specific take-home tests (think create a real-time analytics board consuming an example internal API), instead of these leetcode games which I can memorize and then spew out like a mindless robot.

I think you just explained extremely clearly, why hiring managers aren't really into that sort of candidate.

What do you mean? Forgive my lack of nuance

Once I sunk a day into a take-home test. It went well, and I got to chat with a manager for half an hour. They said they weren't interested with no added context. Setting aside that take-home tests favor people who have time on their hands, the time investment can be very asymmetric, and it doesn't scale for the candidate.

Pretty sure GPT4 can do that trivially. Think harder.
