Ghosting after assignments
What's this obsession of startups ghosting after taking assignments from you. It's so irritating and they just can't value your time and efforts
Name the company so that people can avoid doing assignments for them
I'll share a story according to my last experience:
I interviewed for a startup called "Curie Money". The interviewer seemed quite uninterested but proceeded anyways. There were some red flags from the beginning. They did not discuss the interview process, gave a take home straight away - design implementation of a popular payment app. I completed the take home and was handed another take home which was the implementation of a design from their yet to be released app. This signalled some issues to me. I completed the "most challenging" part of their UI and refused to build the rest of the screen because "it was too easy to test any real skill yet very time consuming". I politely told him that I'd already proved my skills by doing two assignments of challenges they were struggling with in their actual app.
Got ghosted, never heard from the interviewer. Felt like he was using my interview to outsource his dev work.
People say they dodged a bullet, I felt like a dodged a mortar.
Similar thing happened with me. Not once, not twice but 4 times🥲🥲
There is a company named Edufund they do the same I applied and got the assignment but when I had gone through my friends anyone attempted that two of them did but they ghosted them didn't even acknowledge/reply to the follow up mail don't even attempt that don't waste time
