I talked to thumbtack for data science. They wanted a 10+ hour takehome project after just speaking to a recruiter because their data scientists were "too busy" to speak to candidates.
Yeah, I'm going to get right on that.
Bet they're bitching about a data scientist "shortage (^1)" as we speak.
(1) data scientist defined as experienced data scientists who want to waste a day's labor before even understanding what they'd be working on and/or speaking to their potential boss
edit: checked my email archive and fixed company name. Apologies...
