I learnt this week that I have been let go from my firm because of an org restructure. I haven’t really interviewed for jobs in the past 4 years and with AI playing such an important role in our work life now I was wondering how the interview processes have changed ? Do companies still have take home coding challenges, live coding exercises etc.
Need to start applying for jobs and any inputs on how I need to start preparing for interviews would be super helpful.

It's brutal out there. Be prepared to send out hundreds of applications, and if you're lucky, maybe you'll get a handful of interviews. Be prepared to be ghosted by most recruiters. Assume you won't get a response from most places you apply to. The market is horrible.

They do do those things, you may run into more AI screeners… like AI interviewing you before a human does.

I don’t expect lens selection to be a major factor for me as I doubt I will carry multiple lenses - probably just one at a time. Any advice?
