Not if you went through 100 of these unnecessary interview processes solely due to small companies copying big tech where half of their dev team couldn't complete their hiring process.
The humiliation is the least of it IMO. When interviewing, let's say you've got to leads. You get hired and tell the test to pound sand. Companies (I've found) never like that. It's a burned bridge (despite the strong hire signal of getting hired).
Now, a month later - fired - it's worse than not having worked at all. Good luck reaching back out and starting over from scratch with your best options now off the table.
