Yes, hiring is ridiculous at big tech companies that everybody wants to work for. Asking a ton of CS questions is justified if the job is actually CS heavy, but most front end jobs aren&#x27;t. The dentist analogy is spot on.<p>My recommendation is to apply to smaller, lesser known companies. Much much less bullshit and time wasting. There are enough jobs out there that you don&#x27;t have to deal with this bullshit.<p>Time spent on learning extraneous knowledge solely for the purpose of passing interviews for jobs that don&#x27;t actually utilize such knowledge is a massive waste of society&#x27;s resources.
