Maybe offtopic: are take home projects or whiteboard excersises still needed for senior and staff positions? I had the impression that for anything below senior, yes these things were required, but for anything equal or above senior, the focus was mainly: systems design and communication skills.

I've seen both. In my experience it's been rarer to see a process with no coding involved, but it happens here and there.

When I was interviewing a year ago. They were required at all but one role I interviewed at. And I told them to test me anyways, despite them wanting to waive.

If you are interviewing as a software engineer, you should be able to write FizzBuzz. Yes, it is stressful. Yes, I hate leetcode too. But, a company has every right to check that you at least know the basic skill you say you do.

FizzBuzz, yes. A whole greenfield web app that would take this company several weeks to deliver? No.

It's been a requirement for the majority of interview processes I've been in for senior and staff positions.
