It still fascinates me how this (IT) is the only industry that consistently relies on programming assessments to evaluate candidates. I don’t do these anymore.

I don’t do these anymore. If they ask, I politely decline.
- mwint 4y agoWhat’s your experience been in doing that?
- manuelabeledo 4y agoInterviewers react either dumbfounded or almost offended somehow. Most respond by telling me that this is their standard process and they cannot make exceptions, to which I reply that if they want to know if my code is kosher, they can either call any of my former managers, or check my GitHub out. It has worked out for me so far, though. Besides, why would I take a job as a senior software engineer, if their threshold to assess my skills is some college level assignment? It just doesn’t make any sense.
