plusgut60137y4 to 5 days for a test? What the fuck.
Fuck this company, and fuck there attitude. What do they think they are, that someone would spend that much unpaid time? -
plusgut60137yTo me it seems like a rip of, they want you to do there application which they probably sell.

Voxera113937y@Lahsen2016 but the best would have so many options that they dont have to spend days on test :)
The result, you get the most desperate, which probably is not what you intended.
Unless your so famous that people line up to work there. -
SweeD517yWell it's not uncommon to have a test which takes about a week. (I mean, depends on the job of course)
We usually do the same. But we pay the work at a fair freelance rate.
Do you guys still think that's not ok? 🤔 -
@SweeD It's not stated in the OP but it's implied that he's not being paid. Expecting someone to do 4-5 days of unpaid development work as a "test" is absurd.
"Your resumé looks really good. We would really like to hire you. But you need to do this completly job unrelated test/coding challenge first."

"Is the test Android related?"
"Yes"
*Opens Test* -> "what ist the complexity of this function (written in c)"
*Scrolls*
"Implement algorithm xyz in Go lang"
*Closes test and breaks something*

"You will need to Code on a small Android projekt so we can see how you work"
"OK, how much time will i need to plan for it?"
"Our lead dev decided to make it small so its only 4-5 days."

What is it with all this stupid hiring test these days? And what do these recruiter think?
