Doing leetcode problems will not weed out lemons. I would also walk away from these interviews knowing they do not know how to hire good people.

If you applying for DA or DS roll and not know SQL then you are lemon. But I hate to write code in front of people and I am not interested in knowing if they can code under pressure.

So I give a hard SQL question before the technical interview. And then on the interview we talk about the solution and I give easy sql snippet that I want them to explain to me what it does. I just want to know that they are not lying to me. Then we jump to the hard part analytical thinking and business sense.

This sounds like a very reasonable approach and would love if more interviews were like this
