That's a massive (MASSIVE) problem I want to fix. If the interviews tested directly for your frontend knowledge by say, building a small frontend project with some core basic functionality and leaving the rest to your imagination, I think you'd have had a lot more fair chance at the interview. And the company would actually be testing for the job, instead of some abstract concept that'll never be used. I realise I might've just repeated a para from the post but the interview process really really frustrates me

Yeah it's terrible. Luckily you can always find a company / employer that thinks outside of the box but it takes a lot of hustle. If you had let's say a job board with only these kinds of applications, it would be amazing. Open tons of new opportunities for both employers and job seekers.

You might've come across this before but github.com/poteto/hiring-without-w... is a good list for companies hiring without whiteboard interviews

Had no idea this was a thing, thank you.
