I'm about in the middle of my graduating class to get employed - I know people who've done it faster, and people who are still looking. Nobody asked me to do any white board solves. There was probably 4-5 interview series where I made it to the final stages but wasn't selected. Out of that, I had roughly 20 series of interviews (not counting initial phone screenings, only video meetings/etc.), and roughly 8 take-home assessments/challenges/etc. Edit: I started applying to jobs a month before graduation. I applied to over 220 postings over the 2.5 3.5 month period before I accepted an offer.
