What I find particularly jarring about tech interviews is that they often don't adapt to the actual role you're interviewing for.
I moved from engineering to management over 5 years ago now and still in interviews for positions like "head of" in 100+ people companies or other management roles in bigger companies I got asked the usual algorithm questions.
I just have zero interest to prepare for these interviews, I don't have the time or the motivation, and I honestly just don't care about the answers. Most of my job, and my team's job, has nothing to do with them.
The world might be different in FAANG, and admittedly I have not worked there (though I have worked for other top companies) – but most companies are not at that scale, and they should not use the same metrics, particularly for management roles.
