Why? Tech tests are fine, absurd complex tests for shitty jobs are not
If you find some that are reasonable then I consider you lucky. I have not. They've only ever proven to be an absurd waste of time in my experience.
I only got quite simple tests tbf, but I don’t look for senior positions. Main thing is to just get the problem solved writing decent code (if it’s a home assignment) or to walk them through your reasonings
The only time I got a leetcode waste of time it was a Dijsktra/A* problem (which I failed)
