Unfortunately this practice is prevalent still. Recently I’ve been applying to jobs in the two industries I have experience in (algorithmic robotics and fintech) and nearly half of the companies that I’ve heard back from start with either a timed leetcode problem or an HR interview which is immediately followed by a timed leetcode problem. It’s exhausting.

Interesting. I am going for a broad search rather than being targeted. Maybe it's as you say, an industry specific problem. At my last fintech job they just quizzed me a bit on Terraform and asked me about experience, though that role ended up being a disaster later on.
