Ask HN: How Common Are Algorithmic Interviews in SRE Hiring?

Hey. Could experienced folks participating in SRE interviews frequently share how often they encounter algorithmic stages? I struggle in this area and plan to invest time in system design, behavioral questions, and fundamental topics like Linux, networking, operating systems, and scripting.

I suggest skipping the company if an initial interview mentions an algorithmic part.

What implications might this strategy have? I'm not particularly interested in FAANG companies and would be satisfied with a slightly above-average salary for an SRE role.
