You don't apply to large corporations because of their very strict code tests? I just got hired at a fortune 100 company, and across my 3 interviews I never had to whiteboard, take a code test, or submit a code sample. Nothing like that.

It would be unfortunate if pre-conceived notions are holding you back from decent opportunities

No, at companies I know for a fact use this process. For FAANG companies it's a given, even if the recruiter contacts you first. I was told I'd have 5-6 interviews from them consisting of whiteboard algorithms and system design. I'd be intrigued to know which one didn't do this. Is there any way to DM on here if you don't feel comfortable posting?

Yeah, if we both follow each other we can DM
