Original Summary

I&#x27;m self taught, 51yo and been going through some recent health issues. I&#x27;m in the job market in a second tier city, and eerything feels upside dowm.<p>How do I deal with the current market that seems fixated on AI graded leet code pre-screenings? I mean if you give me an actual 1:1 or meaningful homework I have no problem. But these pre screens feell like a challenge between rote memorization and gotcha schenarios with missing details.<p>I&#x27;m not against AI, I&#x27;ve found it incredibly usedful. But it just feels like a race to the bottom that I want to get out of, while seeing job rates that look like they&#x27;re from decades passed. I just want a solid job, around a solid concept that I can deliver on with an exceptional eye for detail. I never thought about or ever want to retire. I&#x27;d get too bored. I have spent my entire career reading, experimenting and improving... I don&#x27;t want to be pigeon-holed or grouped into the types that just stopped in place and gave up.
