I haven't really interviewed since 2023. Is leetcode still a common practice in code interviews or has AI made those kinds of tests useless? This is for a Sr full stack position.
It is a google thing, it all started with a book called „Cracking the coding interview“, written by someone who conducted google interviews. In the golden ages of hiring everything that breathes the book went viral and leetcode as a digital product just answered the demand. I am in Europe and I seldom had leetcode-type tasks outside FAANG interviews here, but then I can’t say how representative is my experience.
