I mean... we're interviewing and it's about as close to begging as a company can get. - We allow any code submission in lieu of having to do something custom for us (adds quite a bit of time and cost to review) - We pay you for the time interviewing - We have all interviewers send thank you emails afterwards - We offer to give you specific feedback about why we decline to make an offer if we decline - We accept re-applications in 12 months - 6 if you can show meaningful self improvement (ex: bootcamps, school, specific projects, addressing feedback from above) - We have above normal pay/benefits for the area we're in Basically - we spend between 3 and 5 grand on each interviewee just for time spent, not accounting for the initial lead generation time and not accounting for the bonus we pay for recommendations from current staff when hired (12-20k in that case, depending on level).

I wasn't referring to your company, but to the attitude of the companies in my (EU) area. What your company is doing far exceeds what I saw here and saddens me to a degree that I don't live in the US.

  Consider applying for remote jobs at US based companies. It's a lot easier now than it was 3 years ago - lots of places in my area that would have previously hired only for local offices are now accepting full time remote from a wide swath of areas. The biggest challenge is usually the tax implications for the company of making a foreign hire - it's hard to be the first remote hire from a new region/country (mainly because it's really expensive up front to get a wrap on the legal side) but relatively easy to be the second. I'd avoid the traditional US hotspots (ex: silicon valley/NYC) and go for places in the south/southeast (Atlanta/Austin/Raleigh/Tampa/Nashville).
