As someone who had administered dozens of "objective" coding challenges to non-native english speakers... I can guarantee you your language skills will negatively impact your performance. So those tests aren't as objective as you think.
It comes up with questions that are as simple as "Create a function that deduplicates an array of integers"
- cheonic729 6y ago> I can guarantee you your language skills will negatively impact your performance. As it should. If someone is a poor English speaker, at an English-speaking company, they absolutely should be penalized. Not everyone is equal, was equal, nor will be. Some people are born blind too. Shouldn't we adjust our hiring practices for them too?

Not only should we adjust our hiring practices for blind applicants, there's a legal obligation to make "reasonable adjustments" for these candidates under the Equality Act! * * Laws may vary in less developed jurisdictions.
- ergocoder 6y agoWell, it's more objective than asking a subjective question.
