Has anyone ever had to take an exam as part of applying for a role? I am thinking of pivoting a little and applied for an Amazon position yesterday and I had to take a 2 hour test and it was terrible! I guess the recruiters will reach out if I pass?

This has happened to me a couple of times where I had to write exams in my job application process. Once you pass the exam, they'll send a mail on what to do next in the recruitment process.

Well, first time for everything. Crazy that we do these exams willingly and for free lol

I have been doing that with case interviews and its tough if you haven’t practiced for some time

Yes absolutely it is. Good luck with the case interviews!

I've had to do this a couple of times before. I really don't enjoy it, but it has to be done.

What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
