I'll just add on the technical assignment: it can be very different, and in many cases a 4-hour one is unlikely to be interesting. I do like interviews and test tasks, but if it's just another CRUD app, I won't be able to start: it's painfully boring.

Add that need to present the already boring result, and you need something really amazing to make it worth the time. I doubt it is.

verb gerund or present participle: phoning

// ...

INFORMAL work or perform without much effort, interest, or enthusiasm. "I think of my playing as committed—I can't remember ever phoning it in at any performance"

Unpaid internships are the best indeed
