Seriously, been working as a software developer for 9 years now and never passed a single coding test.

The jobs I got were always the ones giving me weekend projects or just no coding test at all.

I have a job opportunity that looks exciting but they sent me this coding test link and I know I'm gonna fail for sure. Any tips aside from the obvious (practicing in advance on leetcode etc)?

Don't give the test. Tell the examiner to first be able enough to test you.

Let me tell people that most HRs are purely professional and don't budge 1 bit till they receive money. Simply say to them, I'll code as much as you want me to after we discuss the payment terms.

Easy way to never get a job.

The market is very competitive right now.

Yeah and how many applicants do you have a day? Hundreds? Tens? How long is your average posting open?

Cause I do interviews as well - the candidates are many and the positions few.
