If you want to be employed in a tech space then you'll need to work on passing those tech screens. Silly as they may be employers makes the rules in interviews.

Or found another company then you can make your own rules.

Given how rapidly the current administration is tearing up the legislative rule book and AI excelling at big chunks of it, law is not a space I'd want to be in

I can't tell if I'm just too stupid to pass them or if the market has suddenly raised the bar substantially.

I'd be willing to bet it's our good friends the magic robots. Go cold turkey on LLMs for a bit and see how you get on. Some, though not all, people seem to lose the ability to program remarkably quickly on exposure to them.
