Update at the end.

I’m in the late stages of interviewing at a manufacturing company to work as a market/growth analyst. This would be my first DS role out of grad school and I’ve experienced firsthand how garbage the job market is right now.

That said, I’ve been told that the penultimate/last stage of their process is some sort of project. I honestly don’t remember entirely what the HR person told me, but something about getting 24 hours to accomplish some sort of task at the company. The interview process has already been somewhat involved, with progressively longer on-site meetings with more and more people. The job itself is 100% in-person and I’m not super excited about it, but a job is a job and right now this seems my best shot at being employed in the field.

Anyway, I’m leery of whatever this “project” is because it sounds like it could potentially be really time-consuming and basically me just doing free work for the company. Like I said, it’s hard for me to make a judgement since I don’t know all the details, so it could very well be a “here’s some data, see what you can do with it” kind of situation instead of a “we have this specific thing we need you to for us and we’re timing you.” I think the recruiter might’ve said something about it being paid, but if it is I bet it’s closer to minimum wage than not.

What would be a good approach to evaluating whether the project is reasonable or not? And would it be bad if I tried bringing it up in the current stage I’m in, asking them what they hope to accomplish by having me do a project and how it’s meant to contribute to determining my overall suitability for the role? I don’t know how set in stone this step of their hiring process is, or if it’s meant to be a surrogate for the equivalent of a technical interview or what.

TIA!

Edit:

Officially on to the "project" stage of the process. Supposedly the last step and waiting to receive an email with instructions and info. However! I did some more gleaning online and I'm seeing people who interviewed previously at this company say it was a **40 hour** "Business Simulation"... So, big yikes. Doesn't look like I can afford to decline right now, but good God, what overkill. I don't know what they hope to accomplish and I suspect this is their substitute for a technical interview because, quite frankly, I don't think there's anyone there qualified to give me a technical interview since I'm applying for the first real role in data. I was going to continue looking for better options and trying to interview elsewhere even if I got this job, but I'm definitely going to now....
