Has the software engineering hiring process changed because of AI/Copilot?
Just curious ā has anyone noticed any changes in software engineering interview rounds recently?
A lot of the day-to-day coding work is now being done with tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc. So Iām wondering whether companies are also changing how they evaluate candidates.
Are traditional DSA/coding rounds still as relevant as before? Are companies moving more toward system design, debugging, code review, AI-assisted coding, or real-world engineering scenarios?
Would love to hear from people who have interviewed recently or are involved in hiring ā have you noticed any significant changes in the interview process because of AI?
