Are you self-taught? How did you write the on-the-job code? Do you do well with take-home exercises?
Do you struggle with work projects that feel boring or abstract?

Was originally building firmware and hardware for previous company while testing DS on their systems. They liked my work and I switched to DS and ended up a team lead.
Honestly have never had a take home exercise but would love it if I could. I basically make my own work, if I don't get work I will build other projects for them and try to sell it to the company.
I normally make good value projects and can sell it. It's how I went from hardware to DS lead of a team in a few years.
The take home exercise/work sample companies are out there. Here’s a list I helped contribute to. https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards
