This is not equitable. A company generally has cash. You (jghn) spend so much time on the reviews, but at the end of the day, you collect your paycheck and go home. Sucks for the company’s investors, but you’ll be fine.

A job candidate loses both time and money. I complete your challenge, I don’t get paid, I get thrown into the street and starve. I would have made more profit washing dishes at a restaurant.

Besides, word on the street is that nobody can expect to have “a relationship which lasts many years” with any company, so drop your pretense at perfection. That is a contributor to the tech industry’s problems with lack of diversity and actually filling positions with people who can do the job.

"I complete your challenge, I don’t get paid, I get thrown into the street and starve"

This assumes you're not currently employed

"nobody can expect to have “a relationship which lasts many years” with any company"

If I'm taking a job I'd like it to be a place that I could see myself staying for a number of years. It might not work out that way, but it's my goal.
