Those are standard enterprise CRUD salaries. I’m not trying to be demeaning. Those are the kinds of jobs I had most of my career until 2020. But they are a dime a dozen and I definitely wouldn’t do a take home test for one.
My experiences are the same that equity in private companies is not significant. Worse yet, in all of my experiences the private equity I could have bought or did buy were all 100% losses.

On a different topic, I think your response mrkurt is a violation of the commentary guidelines:
- "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
- "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."
What I wouldn’t do is jump through any hoops like a take home test when jobs in that pay range are (were? I don’t know what the current market is like) a dime a dozen and I could just do one phone screen and a soft skills interview for half a day and get a job making that much.
But at least from around 2002- 2008 and 2012-2022, if you have experience in a mainstream stack, and you live in a major metropolitan area in the US you could easily get a job that pays in that range without even coding interview, let alone a take home test.
We don't fail take homes because of edge cases though. There are things we expect people to handle in the challenges that are important, but I don't think more/less time really influences those.
