I’m still searching for a job. On some of these applications they want a 1-3 minute video of me just answering questions to myself and send it in. If feels scammy, but maybe I’m just not doing it right. What do you do?

    In the tech world, some companies want you to do a take home project. They say things like, this will only take an hour, yet it normally takes like 4+ hours for most people. Anyway, I finally got one interview like this and I will not work for a company that pulls this crap.

    I decided to go through with it and just post it online for anyone to see. I did the project, sent them the GitHub URL and did everything exactly as they asked. They responded with, can you make that a private repo and give the people permissions that need it. I told them I would rather keep it public and that I won’t be doing that. I never signed an NDA, so there was no way for them to force me to take it down.

    Fuck all these places that do this type of shit.
