> But me? Yeah, I'm out. No more whiteboard oral exams, no more uncompensated "take home projects". Done. If this were part of some sort of professional certification, widely recognized in the industry, that I could properly prepare for and take as a lasting, industry respected credential, then I'd do it. But no more tech exams or take homes at the whim of a potential employer. I've wasted enough time on this. I've never had a big gripe about whiteboard coding exercises, but I'm with you on the take home projects. My big complaint right now is that it has become increasingly difficult to get through the first level of screening to even get to a proper interview loop where someone could even ask me to code on a whiteboard.
