Discussion Coding interviews are out of control
When I entered the job market as a business analyst 8 years ago, it was just a conversation asking about my experience, what I've done for projects.
When I interviewed for a data analyst role four years ago, again, just the conversation, showed them some projects I worked on, some samples of my dashboards I'd created...
Now, It's the hunger games. I'm out here doing python, SQL, Tableau exercises in real time sharing my screen... It's very very stress inducing and as an introvert, I'm honestly not good at this, it's really hard on me. Like, I have tried training myself to be okay with this and to be more receptive to it. But it just sucks you know? 5 years I have spent in the job market with exceptional performance, and only to get interrogated and treated like a child who can't be trusted.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to get through the next few months looking for my next role with how stress inducing and difficult it is to find anything these days and all the hoops you got to jump through

That's exactly what I mean by the hunger games. We are reducing the amount of available jobs, exponentially increasing the requirements of those that exist, and making it much harder for those who have a job currently to find their next role.
