If your HR can't separate good engineers without who can jump through some proprietary website's code tests you have an HR problem.
No other industry has this mind set of forcing applicants to grind themselves. They themselves said that they have non genus $200k employees because they learned the song and dance of HR, not that they were actually $200k employment.
Not to mention 3 hours a day for 6 months? You're missing out on the best employees over the ones that memorized the answer key to the test.
No one is arguing the process isn't stupid or that it selects the best employees, but what the post says is correct. The LC grind is the differentiator between low-paying and high-paying jobs. That's just the way it is and has been for a long time
And are you forgetting about finance? Because that industry requires people to grind brain-teaser problems related to prob/stats to pass the interview....

Don’t know much about code but this seems like sound advice?
