    Companies get one interview, with a human being.

    Anything else is a scam and we need to make it clear we aren’t interested in wasting our time.

    “If you want me completing work as a part of this application you need to pay me for my time.”

    Employers aren’t enttitled to labor, they aren’t entitled to make us jump through hoops, and we’re at a point in labor dynamics where they need employees more than we need employers.

    Keep putting them in their place

      What makes your say that?

        Employees will always be more necessary than employers.

        But you’re right about there being a declining job market as we enter another big recession/depression

      What about those online 2 hour coding challenges to qualify for an interview? Those aren’t hard problems, but mainly to weed out the unqualified. However, I failed my first 3 coding challenges across 2 years before I got an interview. It’s such a BS metric to make all the test cases pass before even considering them. I knew once I got the actual interview, I would be golden due to my experience, but it was still hell getting there.
