Lots of timed algo ones in my city - i.e. time-space complexity. Completely unrealistic for a DevOps cum full-stack role.

If they were untimed - like homework assignments - I'd probably say yes to more but as it stands I've no issue securing work with top end rates after a f2f conversion (no technical vetting at all - people seem thankful to have me onboard).

I've seen reviewers reject 8-hour assignments because the submission uses a certain library or something contrary to the house style so I've stopped doing these too. Opinions matter but they shouldn't be a f2f filter.

Right now my hard and fast rule is no code on paper - sure we can whiteboard but I'm not writing as much as an if-statement unless I can hit F5 on my keyboard in my IDE.

(My second rule is no interviews in lobbies)
