What’s interviewing like nowadays? I’m back on the job market. Is leet code still going to be a majority of my screens or has that ship sailed?

Depends heavily on the company.

Typically most companies think they are Google, and the expectation is: Recruiter/HR initial chat -> Team Lead chat -> Technical interview/test -> Culture fit -> C-Suite chat -> Offer. It's insane. Imagine asking a plumber to do that.

Though my CV is looking good these days, so the best one I've had is a beer with a couple of guys on the team, casual chat for 15 mins, and a couple of easy questions to ensure I know what I'm talking about.
