When I was looking for my next role, one of the companies I was exploring assigned a take-home design exercise during the interview process, and I had to figure out how to proceed. Here's what I explained to them (+ a proposal)—if this is you, feel free to steal it! 👇

and in case if it’s a paid take-home design exercise? you still prefer to go without it? in the last stage of the interviews for my current position i was offered to do a paid task and was given a week to do so

There are still the concerns about context and such but that could be worked out with the hiring manager if paid
