I have been seeing this as well, it seems like the “gotcha” levels at even the early stage of interviews are at an all time high as well. A few years ago getting the “gotcha” part of a question was mostly icing on the cake as long as you could solve the rest of the problem.
It seems like there is just such a massive influx of people applying for the same positions that companies can be extremely selective, so it’s not that you are doing poorly in the interview necessarily but there are much higher chances of a few people acing the interview now
