was devestated after receiving a rejection email right before my sixth round
Don’t forget to add the assignments that take days.
Last time a prospective employer tried to give me an assignment, I just flat out told them I wasn’t going to do it.
I’ve been happily employed by them for almost four years now.
I was, for quite some time, a hiring manager in some capacity or another. I HAD to administer take home assignments. I couldn’t get the C-Suite to see the folly, and even our CIO a developer themselves raised through the ranks wouldn’t even bother trying though he detested them.
How did you tell them no? Just straight out?
I tried to find the email about it, if it was indeed an email where I expressed myself, but to no avail. It was pretty late in the process and there was clear pressure from both sides to complete the process, which I think worked in my favor, alongside my strong references and decades-long career.
