But down the line, if you have a job already, it's a hard pass on any type of take-home projects. They're a horrid method for evaluating candidates (yes, even worse than shit like live coding), especially since you generally can't even use them as a "portfolio" project... so basically just a time sink that doesn't translate between other interviews (whereas prepping for stats/coding interviews helps for multiple companies at the same time), and is also not at all reflective of how shit actually gets done in a workplace.

If a company has a take-home project as part of their interview process, I tell them to go kick rocks, because it's not going to be a good fit.
