Just turned down a job opportunity that wanted me to do a crazy case study/data analysis task at the HR screening stage (haven’t even met the hiring manager yet) and I don’t feel bad at all ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

At the HR screen is the only crazy part of this post. I can’t imagine hiring someone beyond entry level without understanding their output in a controlled way. It’s not free work... it’s ensuring a poor hire isn’t made.

@Director 1

I totally agree with you. I meant to say that most of them aren't doing what they're supposed to and that's why sometimes poor hires are made.

Eh I used to scoff at the idea of case studies like this then I interviewed for my dream job on the client side and they asked for one. It took a few hours after work for a few days and now I couldn’t be happier. I guess if you want it bad enough you’ll do it. If you aren’t willing to do it, you probably don’t want the job that much.

Oh 100% that is insane. Sorry I should have made that clear

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
