It is at the point where for me when they ask for a take home, it is a self selecting: Thanks but no thanks.

I can spend time answering your take-home, or trying to get other interviews. From what I've seen on take homes: Other interviews are strongly EV+.

Before you go: But you never got a job off a take home, that's why. I did. It was one of the worst managed misfits I've had. I am sure others thrived there, for me it was a living hell, that didn't even pay that great.

So... Much like requiring a suit to interview and a few other things. It goes in my bin of "Your company has performed self selection."

Note: I will leetcode, at least there is a human there, we're talking, interacting, and I am learning about the company.. But most of all, that feel of: I put up and hour, you put up an hour. Let's talk. Is very real.
