I have decided to start looking for other jobs because I am so burnt out and seem to have no free time for me. But, every job comes with a huge task that takes up a whole evening. Writing test articles, doing exams, filming videos. Do you feel like these homework activities are worth it for a new job?

I used to think applying for jobs felt like a job, but they've taken that to a whole new level. It almost feels like employers are trying to get free work out of applicants and it almost makes me wonder if they are genuinely looking or just taking advantage.

I think a lot of time it's busy work - "oh look, I was busy interviewing these candidates and wasn't able to make that cool flying animation thing". I saw a place with 8 rounds. None of this is about finding people - it's hiring performative theater.

I totally relate to this. I understand that a potential employer needs to know how people think, and having them do a test assignment might be part of it. Some employers really take it too far. I mean, they may have a job for me, but it's a job, it's not as special as they're making it seem. It's not like an Olympic medal or something.

Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry. I am interested in exploring other opportunities as I know there are a lot out there, but is anyone else worried about the current economic state? I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?
