Ok, but how do you get a job then? I hate those take home assignments as well. I work for over a decade in the industry, if they don't believe me that I can do basic stuff, it's just annoying. But I am not aware if any company who does not do that. They all just copy the hiring process of the big companies. "What works for Google must work for us too". And that's just not true. Google has thousands of applicants per day, the average shitty company can be happy if they get one or two qualified candidates. For Google, I'd gladly to a several hour assignment, but not for an average company - because it is not Google.

Guess it depends in the industry, I've never had to do live coding interviews when interviewing in game-dev. It's been mostly technical discussions, maybe some take home tests, once I had a debugging session. Never a leetcode type of thing.
