Design assignments are killing me

Don’t do it, smart companies doesn’t ask for it.

Don't do them

Ask them, if I can do Whiteboarding round.

Maybe you can be a fresher, so I don’t recommend to very choosy with this market conditions.

But in 2024, any company which gives assignment round is not worth joining for.

But yeah, if you don’t have any choice ignore this advice

What is your yoe?

Some companies are giving their clients work to do in a week time, and asks figma design link with full access, They will do the hand off and ghost you without giving any feedbacks

Yup it’s stupid and waste of time

Assignments are stupid and a waste of time. Sometimes they go as crazy as giving a hour limit for it, which we mostly overshoot to do the best we can.

White-boarding is definitely better to understand an applicant’s collaboration and design thinking skills.

@corpusx You are getting atleast a response from the company 😅

Same. I ask for whiteboarding if possible - but I already have 4 yoe

And the worst part is they ghost you after submitting the assignment. Not rejection intimation no feedback nothing. All efforts go down the drain.
