With AI making traditional coding problems trivial, tech interviews are shifting toward practical, real-world challenges, system design, and debugging exercises rather than pure algorithm puzzles. Some companies are revisiting in-person whiteboarding to assess thought processes, while others embrace AI, evaluating how candidates integrate it into their workflow. There's also a greater focus on explaining decisions, trade-offs, and collaboration. Instead of banning AI, many employers now test how effectively candidates use it while ensuring they have foundational skills. The trend favors assessing problem-solving in real work scenarios rather than just coding ability under artificial constraints.
