Yes agree, the same thing happened to me when applying to jobs in other countries. They asked to solve problems on Hackerank, Leetcode etc. But I was comfortable to give solutions, high-level architectures etc. But if you really need to pass those kinds of interviews you have to master it algo, data structures and competitive programming. I think less popular that type of interview in SL. But I've faced similar interview at the London Stock Exchange.
But based on my experience, I've noticed most of algo, data structure experts (not everyone), trying to implement algo or data structures for every problem even if they have simple solutions. It ends up with systems that hard to maintain or implement new features. I think Sri Lankan engineers good at giving solutions, designing, architecture than doing solving algorithms.
