"The time spent on the assignment should not exceed 8 hours."

nice, so a full working day just for an interview take home task

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Interpretation A:
It's a way to filter those that set boundaries, which can be wanted (applicants the are focused on creating real value) or not (selecting for desperate applicants).

Interpretation B:
They're so full of themselves that they couldn't imagine applicants having other things to do. This might be a recurring theme in case of taking the job.

Exceptions may apply for very junior (fresh grad) roles, within limits.

Only 8 hours? Where do I sign? Last one it took me 2 full days from morning to night.

They should pay for your time

It's common for me

Well, how complicated is the task?

@Demolishun oh, it's only an entire SPA dashboard

@fullstackclown is it legit or is this a "steal code attempt".

@Demolishun I hope it's not "steal code" - I beleive its already in production so what they had me do is more or less already implemented (I hope)

Browse their site to see if a new dashboard was added

It's so weird. An industry that has more educated applicants then ever yet allegedly is constantly short of qualified work force can somehow dare to make interviews this involved

I don't know man, something isn't right here and vaguely bubble shaped

@fullstackclown > is more or less already implemented

Way to waste time bruh. Is the dev job search really this bad?

@Tonnoman and getting worse by the day :)

@fullstackclown with that foresight I really will end up having no excuses ooof haha
