Not that I disagree, but if the interviewer expects the candidate to spend the better part of a week proving that they know how to code, whats so outrageous about asking for a day?
You see this a lot, companies with insane hiring processes so they "only get the best", and then won't even do the basics on their end like listing the salary.
- jacquesm 4y agoTypically companies have the pick of the litter unless you are exceptionally skilled and/or already have a super good reputation the power dynamic is - unfortunately - in favor of the company and ignoring that fact is likely going to be counterproductive. Ideally companies would be up-front and transparent about all of these but none of the companies that I've looked at over the last 15 years had the foresight to prepare an information package that would answer the bulk of these. Incidentally, that's a thing I could really get behind: to standardize a list (possibly this one) and to get companies that are on the market to pre-emptively answer them so that employees would have a fair shot at comparing companies on their own time.

- confidantlake 4y agoI am not so sure about this. I am just an average developer, no superstar. Recently did a job search and got a few offers but decided to not take any of them.
