What do you think, is this challenge fair game or unrealistic to finish in 24 hours?

Once I was assigned a task as an exam for a java developer role. They sent me this 76-page technical requirement manual, which was about creating a program to read data input as bits from a particular source and parse it into DAO (Data Access Object) structure ready to be saved to database. Half way into the work I realized what was going on: They were trying to get me to do they work for free. I called them the next day and told them I'd charge for submitting the work. After some back and forth they agreed to hire me and give me an upfront bonus for that task. In the end I just sold them the solution cause I wasn't willing to work for that kind of people.

"junior full stack" is such an oxymoron as a position title. To me that just means the company doesn't want to pay someone a proper wage but still expects them to have expansive knowledge and experience.

[karolsongin]

It's not even about the skill but giving 24h shows lack of respect to the person IMO, what if person have other job, responsibilities and cannot allocate the time to build in the next 24h?

[diogooliveira]

For a Junior and with 24 hours its a steep challenge. Especially with the AWS integration.

[geralt]

Imagine doing all this work and somehow managing to make a functioning app within that small time limit only to be told later that the company is going ahead with another candidate because they have more experience.

[Glavin]

“Junior” and “full stack” are mutually exclusive

[jonnyevans]

Reminds me of when I applied for a C++ internship that stated I would be using C++, did a call interview was told that it’s actually for C# and the interviewer said it’s just like C++ and he would give me 3 days to get to a Medium level coding challenge 😂

The start is so on point. Every time you try to show someone something suddenly nothing works lol.

[maximus]

I do appreciate how you did not cut these scenes where the code crashed. your response on some of these clips just made my day!
Thank you for your genuine content

[htmlallthethings]

Thanks for not "cutting the crap out"! Great to see people debug live.

[Jitlok]

Never build a full stack app for an interview. This is a huge red flag.

Edit*
A company that wants a full stack app in 24 hours by a junior developer is not a position a junior developer wants to begin with. If you have no degree and no experience yeah brew that coffee and get to coding and do whatever it takes to get into industry. But know your worth and don't let companies exploit you without monetary compensation.

[beinghuman]

Love this channel. Hyper valuable. Love that you didn't cut out what you fixed in the beginning

[calametyreboot]

damn dude youre blowing up i remember when this channel had like 20k subs now you're at 76k! congrats you deserve it

[zigmundo]

I feel like the more experienced developers wouldn’t even bother with these lengthy assignments. These companies are missing out on high level employees

[DajuSar]

I love that the site keeps crashing, bugging and not working. Finally an accurate tutorial. Thats how coding works

Company I currently work at, assignment when i was applying is use whatever php framework you were comfortable with, project doesn't have to work but would be nice. Interview sat down and walked through the project, how i approached it, what I thought went well, what I wanted to improve. Only requested a few hours over a week to do it as they said with work we don't want you spending huge amount of time. Joined and probably the best place i've worked at so far.

After working here for almost two years, took an exploratory look at somewhere else using same framework. Was failed for not having enough knowledge on very basic php knowledge on a third party test. No looking at projects, they hadn't read my CV to see that i'd been using their framework for that long. I felt disrespected that they wouldn't even ask about any of my experience to see if I would be a good fit.

Brightside is staying where I was got so much better, learnt Node, got to solo projects and come up with my own things

[JoelRivera]

I think if I got tasked to do this. I wouldn't write any line of code or at least not how you have done. I actually would concentrate on making a diagram and some flow charts. Basically provide a logical flow architecture diagram maybe some high-level code explanations with functionality explaining the front-end communications with the backend communications. If I had some time divide the work into tasks and stages and estimate the time to accomplish each task. Always remember that everything usually takes longer than expected. Afterward, I would indicate I believe this project would require a 3 - 4 man team, and although a working demo could be completed in 2 -3 weeks they should allow a 6 - 8 week time window before the final product is turned in. And also I decline the job offer.

[gregjarzabek]

Right away I thought, they are trying to make him do the work for free, and end up not hiring... Companies never cease to surprise.
