No very good, I'm starting to believe that the so-called "shortage of developers" is just companies who have a terrible and frankly broken interview process, over-optimized to detect red flags no matter how small they are(I had been rejected for so many small things like "I didn't talk enough with the interviewers", "Your solution is good but you forgot this small edge case that we didn't mention ", "Your code was fine and it does solve the problem but we wanted to see you going the extra")
leetcode problems are silly but company us them as filters because they don't know any better but on the "Brightside" only take 1 o 2 hours of your life.
take-home challenges are worse because they require more hours to completed and sometimes companies just ghost or reject you without giving you any feedback.
By far the best way to skip all that nonsense has been with referrals, I believe its because if the new guy underperformed they can just blame the one who referred him
