So do your best to create great submission!"

>"UPDATE (2022-02-05):

Due to many great candidates have applied to this vacancy, we decided to close this challenge on Friday (2022-02-11). So we will wait for the last submission until Thursday (2022-02-10) at 23:59 WIB."[1]

This is like a cattle call audition with a hard deadline? Who would do this? Also there is absolutely no indication of how much time one should spend this. I'm guessing this is intentional. If you want to give me a deadline there better be pay involved. I hope people are smart enough to call BS on these companies.

- You don't have code to show, 1 hour live coding challenge, focus on communication, search want you want online, ask us any questions, and explain what you're doing.

We out of about 40 live coding interviewes this year, one person refused the live challenge, 11 passed this stage, and we ended up with 7 hires accepting the offer.

If you can't think of something to do, there are the Guardian Coding Exercises which just outline a problem to be solved

I also recommend having a look at the Guardian Coding Exercises and to read the description of the repository. I think they are a good example of tests that allow the candidate and the interviewer to work together, to actually meet and to discuss a solution. There is no "right" way to solve them, and many of them cannot be solved in 45 minutes, which is usually the time given to a candidate after an initial introductory chat.
