Is the expectation for Big N still LC? /u/fuckthis_job CSCQ protests reddit

I graduated in May 2023 and began my first job in Jan 2024 and still currently working there. It’s a solid job:

Fully Remote (Talks about RTO, nothing in place as of yet)

Base: $85k

Bonus: $3k-6k (based off performance)

Industry: FinTech

However, I ultimately want to move to a Big N company to boost the compensation. Since I haven’t done LC in years, is that still the standard for Big N companies? If so, has the level of difficulty significantly increased? I’ve heard stories of people who are receiving LC hards during their internship interviews and was wondering if this is now the norm. When I interviewed for this current company, they seemed desperate to fill spots so I was given an offer after a 30 minute interview regarding my experience (no LC).
