I’ve gotten to the point where it’s simpler than this. Firms get 16 hours to evaluate me. If the take home isn’t a huge component of that I know they’ve cargo-culted it. I won’t do it if they can’t promise that isn’t the case. I say this as someone who was an extremely early adopter of take home tests and think they are the highest signal filter you can reasonably have in the US. So many places have added take homes in the worst possible way without removing all the other nonsense. It’s as if orchestras started demanding high pressure auditions and then threw out the results if the person talked a good game in an interview.
