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

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.
