I agree with others on the technical assessment. I'll at least give you some points for offering it after speaking to someone for an hour which a lot of companies don't do—it's a really fucking low bar. I don't know that I'm necessarily senior by everyone's metric, but I've been in development for nearing 10 years depending how you look at it. I usually count it as something like 7-10 if someone wants to scrutinize, because really I'm just an IC without much more responsibility. I'd do *A* technical assessment, but not a 4hr one, and only if the resulting career move would be really impactful or I'm desperate. I'm planning to do a full day of Amazon interviews at the end of the month just because I've never worked at a fang and don't think I'd pass, so it's a challenge and a healthy time risk for high potential outcome. There's nothing more defeating than doing a lengthy technical test for an arbitrary company, only to be told something like my formatting was bad while using HackerRank, or to have some arrogant Junior review the submission and have it not be to their standard. You don't get time back. I wouldn't work for my current contract if there was a chance I wouldn't get paid, and I ain't doin it for many others.
