JavaScript Technical Lead Volodymyr Shaitan published a correspondence from one of his colleagues, who was rejected by his employer only because he had to pay for the test task he completed, unlike another candidate.
«We forgot that we would have to pay a person for the work, so we chose the one who did it on the layer. The context is that one of the subscribers posted how he was treated. They agreed to pay for the test task, but something went wrong. Or maybe that’s it?» Shaitan wrote .
In the correspondence, the employer’s representative admits that she didn’t even send the completed test task to anyone on time. And when the candidate asked her to explain why he was rejected, she admitted that she gave the remote copy to the candidate who completed the test for free.
Under the post, IT people are discussing the situation.
«I just send three letters at once when testing, online coding, tarot cards, and other bullshit,» says Solution Architect Andriy Nikishaev .
«It’s funny. I’m all for live testing so that such situations don’t happen. I even found a way for salespeople to test during an interview. It’s even easier for devs,» says Head of Sales Tetyana Chernyshova.
Manual QA Marina P. is sure; «I see that the Ukrainian market is a bit crazy right now. Because they want to be happy with the salary of a jun for the skills of a midwife. I’d rather go and glue tiles and earn more.»
«Haven’t you tried taking a deposit?», Android/C++ developer Max Makuta jokingly says.
