Companies seem to have lots of great policies from the inside but getting back in is the challenge for me, having been a stay at home dad for roughly 3 years now (also 2 kids in). Family responsibilities expand to use all available time so the time I have for grinding leetcode, working on my portfolio, or other similar activities comes late at night after the brain fog sets in. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it's active discrimination, but the hoops aren't doing anyone any favors. Meta in particular is one company I backed away from after the recruiter helpfully suggested I study for 4-8 weeks before scheduling interviews.
