Been invited to interview for a digital agency for the 3rd time.

1st time i didn't get the job.

Second time I did get the job but there was a snag in the salary negotiation, so I didn't take the job.

Usually they give out a design task for the second stage of the interview, something I've done twice now.

What do you think my approach should be if they ask me to do another design task? I've done one twice already for them so I'm not sure whether to push back of they ask me to do it again.

I would say no to spec work, I think it’s incredibly demoralizing that companies still expect people to work for free to prove their talent. At best it signals they don’t trust the candidates, at worst they just want free work done.

He’ll no. You did it twice. What they should do is present YOU with a “salary assignment” that THEY complete. And that assignment is to come to you with a respectable salary range before you waste anymore of your time

Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them.

I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?
