> - Resume screened by in-house recruiter 1st mistake > - 30m call with them 2nd mistake stopped reading after that. :-) and I dont mean to sound harsh. but in a market where experienced talent is in high demand, we get TONS of inbound leads, in parallel, and thus look for ultra easy ways to filter them down. you immediately gave me a way to do it > Take-home technical assignment (~4h) or similar at candidate's choosing DOH. if I hadn't bailed by now, heres where I would pass on you fast. you're welcome to look at my resume/CV and respect my word, welcome to look at my GitHub, and welcome to offer me a paying project, but if you think I'll give you 4+ unpaid hours of my professional time, to every rando who pings me, just to prove, "Yes, I'm A Programmer Like I Already Told/Showed You" then be prepared to miss out on all the people with BATNA's and self-respect. The attitude of entitlement by some companies in 2022 has gotten out of hand. Overdue for corrective turn.
