Context and disclaimer: I run a bootcamp for technical interview prep: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;InterviewKickstart.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;InterviewKickstart.com</a>.<p>Your frustration is understandable. But you also have to ask  and understand how our industry has come to this point. There are concrete reasons for it, and despite this process not being the best, it&#x27;s the least evil when hiring is done at scale.<p>The process is here to stay. If you want to work at some of those companies, don&#x27;t overthink it. Just prepare for interviews. It&#x27;ll also give you a refreshing perspective to software development.
