More likely it is watching Netflix and reading HN...let's not pretend we're all out there saving the world and volunteering our free time for selfless causes...
Isn't this self imposed if you are the one applying for the job??? I don't get it, if some rando recruiter emails me a Hacker Rank test, I delete the email if I'm not interested...pretty simple. If I am interested, then I apply and that is no longer an "interruption"...or at least it is self imposed so there is no real reason to complain.
