Recently, a friend of mine sought out a data science position in the Seattle area. Each prospective employer gave him a take-home assignment that required 30-40 work hours to complete. hardy har har. the correct response to this is "my fee is $200/hr". seriously, i would not hire anybody dumb enuff to consent to this kind of "interview". that companies even try it boggles the mind. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
