Ask HN: Companies That Use Take Home Projects for Interviews?

1 pointsby shk88almost 10 years ago
I&#x27;m an experienced developer (previously worked for Microsoft) who left to pursue building a SAAS business. Unfortunately things aren&#x27;t going as well as planned and I&#x27;ve been looking for work over the past few months. I&#x27;ve had several interviews but no offers. Although I used to be pretty confident in my interviewing skills, I seem to be tripping up on the technical portions of the interview. Usually on things I wouldn&#x27;t struggle with.<p>I&#x27;ve seen discussions about companies that give project based interviews, but have never seen one in the wild. I&#x27;d be happy to complete a small project to show I&#x27;m competent, I just don&#x27;t know which companies to target.<p>About me: All professional experience with .NET stack (willing to learn others, if given the chance) Located in Seattle (Remote would also be an option).<p>Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I have come to regard them as unpaid labor and so refuse to participate in them anymore.<p>My resume is truthful it would be easy to look up any of the projects I mention.
