> Licensing. We do the Leetcode interview in a controlled testing center.

Congratulations, you are now a "Certified Leetcoder (tm)". :-(

Seriously: what a lot of people write down here is that a lot of programming jobs don't involve code puzzle skills, but are often rather about putting stuff/APIs together in the currently fashionable framework.

This makes becoming a Certified Leetcoder (tm) just another useless hoop to jump through.

(Just to be clear: for those few programming jobs that demand the employee to solve algorithmic puzzles regularly, doing them in a job interview makes sense. But these jobs are rare.)

Isn’t this basically triplebyte? I did their process and every company still wanted to do their leetcode interview after.
