Counterpoint, I botched a coding session at a FANG interview. They wanted me so they gave me a take home coding problem. I spent 40+ hours over three days banging it out.
Got the job. 57% increase in compensation. 550k/year combined.
Totally worth it.
Only negative is it's months later and my right shoulder still hurts a bit. Getting old sucks.
- mamon 7y agoOk, but FANG is a different matter: those are established, respectable companies. You shouldn't do the same for small, no-name startups that try to use those take-home assignments to extract free labor from you.
- salarycommenter 7y agoI agree, the risk reward has to be there. But I don't interview at companies unless I really need to get in. If it were some lousy startup and I'm interviewing there it's because I am hard up and need the job or it's tactically where I need to be next to get where I am going. Basically if I am spending the time interviewing I am probably willing to do whatever it takes to get the job.
