And that’s your choice. However, as technical assessments go this is very reasonable. It’s not them getting work done for free. It’s only very minimally contrived. It’s not “leet”, as in it’s straight forward (you’d essentially copy and alter an existing feature) and absolutely the kind the task you could encounter during a day job there. If I were interviewing you and you were not referred (referrals might be able forego assessments) and if you refused to do this, I would feel that your attitude was a bit unreasonable and it would make me think less of you as a candidate. But really it’s a willing buyer willing seller scenario, so you do what you feel is important to you, and I would do the same, but don’t be surprised if it counts against you.

Don't worry, I would withdraw my application. > But really it’s a willing buyer willing seller scenario Yeah and my point is that I'm the seller and so should be every other candidate.

  > Don't worry, I would withdraw my application. Without a strong referral beforehand, it's really you who doesn't need to worry, there would likely be no need for you to withdraw as most employers are apprehensive about making the financial and time commitment to an employee who is not willing to do even a reasonable assessment.
