I absolutely despise coding interviews that end up taking more time than the interview itself. It’s even more annoying if you’re already working 7-8h a day. Yeah sorry I’m not gonna bother with your thing that’s most likely never gonna be used again and that will make me waste my precious limited free time. It’s also never paid…

@Traser nope I guess it was instead of those logical tests and interview questions. I think it was pretty big too, but I actually enjoyed doing it because it was challenging and creative at the same time. But since it didn’t lead to anything it also feels like I did put a lot of work for free 😅

@dootlurk that’s a great idea! Thanks!!

@Earu yeah it’s difficult to manage time and focus when you’re on a full time job already. Makes it easier to miss stuff or misinterpret stuff as well. Thanks for the support!
I was applying for a job that I really wanted, and were told to code an assignment. I sat for 2-3 days coding an e commerce app in react which was super fun and challenging, I think I made a pretty decent app. but after I handed it in and a couple of weeks later I got back that I didn’t make it further in to the process. The feedback showed that I missed some essential stuff and I mixed typescript and JavaScript even though it was supposed to be in typescript (I’m new to TS) :(
I feel so disappointed, I probably had too many things going on while doing this that I didn’t had time to review it properly before sending it in. Oh well, at least I have a nice job now (but underpaid)
