I’ve had the gall several times to ask that they pay me to do one of these mini projects but it never resulted in another interview round. And I've actually by now, developed a portfolio of mini projects and try to point there but that hasn’t worked. Ironically it only worked with YouTube who moved me to interview in person and in front of a whiteboard instead. As an engineer, you can’t win. Go figure.

Yeah so many people saying "I tell them I won't do it," without saying how many positive responses companies give them for their principled stands. I'd imagine it's because almost no companies continue with an interview after that point.

re: YT - welp, out of the frying pan, as they say lol
