Ask HN: Any tech recruiter willing to review my code challenge?
I've completed a code challenge for a company. I was a small project that you could develop in two weeks. After I submitted my results, two days later I got an email from their recruiter saying that my project did not meet all their requirements and they wouldn't nice forward with my application. I thanked them and ask them to elaborate where I feel through, they didn't answer. Anyway, its a Python / Django project. I was thinking if anyone care to look and give pointers about the project.
- davismwfl 7y agoSo this wasn't a code challenge so much as a paid project, correct? Did they pay you? No coding challenge should take that long unless it is a paid project. If you have the requirements they gave you and the project it should be relatively easy to see where you might have gone wrong. Sadly many times companies use a coverall excuse like this instead of being direct about the reason. I wouldn't get too concerned about it, so many times the rejections are not about your capabilities but their peculiarities.
- atum47 7y agoI agree with you 100%. I'm just interested now on the opinion of a professional to get some tips on my project. Maybe I did something wrong. Or my tests weren't that good...
- davismwfl 7y agoIf you want, I'd be happy to see if I can give you some feedback, I 100% respect and understand the need for it. To be transparent, I do not write Python daily (I am a CTO daily), but I have been doing this work for a very long time and routinely do code reviews across multiple languages, including Python. I can't promise a super quick response, but I could give you one in a few days. If you are interested shoot me an email, it is in my profile.
