u/Asleep-Simple

I'm an early mid (2.5 years of exp) backend Java dev starting to look for jobs, mostly in Poland and UK. Last time I was applying was in 2023, before AI became this ubiquitous and reliable, or at least before the recruiters fully adjusted to it. I've been wondering how has the interview process changed? I can't imagine straightfoward leetcode-style coding tests (not coding interviews, those tests you'd get as one of the first stages) are still a thing with how easy it is to just get AI to do them? Is there more emphasis on system design maybe? I'm honestly not sure what to prepare for, and would appreciate any insights into what recruiting looks like now.
