There must be a serious dearth of candidates in my area, because the last time I was subjected to a time-constrained test was almost three years ago, and it was a Codility challenge, so I had some time to prepare for it.
I quit my job recently, and in order to find another I went full-auto with the applications - I've sent close to thirty of them I think, so a long series of recruitment processes followed.
They were all mostly the same - I either received some homework to do or had a 1-2h technical interview during which I was asked a set of questions which were easy for the most part. And that was it.
My point being: I've discovered that I can't really relate to the stories other people posted in this thread. Does this mean I wasn't ambitious enough regarding my applications, or are the others subjected to a difficult job market? Maybe both? Or none? I really don't know.
