> companies are putting down very sophisticated hiring methods that are not relevant to the job itself

Well, I guess this is really just a version of what I'm saying, about being feeling entitled but thwarted by forces outside one's control

"I'm a good coder, why do the expect me to 'grind on leetcode' and know how to invert a binary tree"

I agree largely, but if that's what they want and you don't want to do it, don't apply. Justifying cheating because of your perception isn't right

I am pointing out the warped process of hiring within our industry, I am not justifying anything here.

People are doing this, because probably, they think it does work. They probably passed some interviews like this before and landed on their job, which is just mundane configuration update tasks, or just making a new integration with a new data source, and realized that there isn't a connection on what is expected on the interviews and what is expected on their daily jobs.

Maybe we should be looking at the core cause instead, the interview processes being not aligned with the daily jobs.
