companies that do not whiteboard

You can avoid doing leetcode and get a job by choosing to interview at companies that don't use leetcode style questions as part of the evaluation. This repo contains a list of such companies, https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards

https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards and also focusing on smaller / less sexy companies which pay less.

hiring without whiteboards is the standard resource for this. i see lots of UK companies there, but haven't checked if they're all hiring right now

- you're underpaid - start looking elsewhere, there are tech companies in bhm that will pay more than that and you can get a remote job paying way more than that, the remote stuff is super competitive right now so it may take you until the 2 year mark to find something - i've never needed anything outside of my resume but certification, projects on your github, etc. are all obviously good to have. i've been in the conversation for a bunch of engineering hires and no one's every said "well the other person had a cool website" so don't sweat it too much - leetcode, et. al are really annoying imo. traversing matrices or doing binary tree stuff is hardly ever relevant to the job. here's a list of a bunch of companies that don't do the tests. https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards ; most big tech places are going to require them though.

Early stage start-ups and non-tech companies can also pay reasonably well and may have more relaxed interview processes. There’s also https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards which lists a number of companies that have interview practices that may be more amenable to your approach to work.

There are some employers that give more practical tests, but sadly they seem to be the exception.

I've been giving interviews for past couple of months and this github repo has helped me so much for system design perspective and I can see myself excelling at interviews. - https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer

You'll be on opiod's probably the first 1-2 days, so sleeping should be fine. Everything will be allright, don't worry too much. Just use the time now to prepare for the time after, make sure you go through post-surgery-essentials thread. Once you are out of the OR you won't have the energy to think about those details, so make sure you take that prep serious.

Tooling isn’t architecture. Figure out what you need to handle both personas and volume/throughput and then lay out the capabilities you’ll need. As you lay out points of ingress, egress, consumption you can start to lay out sequences(think in persona and sequence diagrams to express interactions between services). Lastly, evaluate tools that offer some of these capabilities and weigh the trade-offs (there are always trade-offs: https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer).
