Yeah just don’t do these. Refuse. Usually it’s a bad sign. And I’ve only done one such interview where the time commitment was what they foreshadowed (about an hour), and then gotten the job offer. Every other time it was an email rejection with 0 feedback. Not worth it.

These seem to be the standard for FE roles as far as I can tell. Probably 10/14 interview processes I've been in have said they have taken home assessments as some part of the process.

You could maybe offer a personal project repo or code example instead? Iv’ve walked through passion projects with interviewers before and found them insightful.

I haven't had time in the past couple of years to keep up with side projects.
