Today is kinda bad. I got a job interview on Tuesday. A guy who interviewed me seemed eager to have me on the team. He mentioned a lot about workload, work environment, him wanted to expand the team and moved to other position within the company, or even wanted to take me to for a tour around the office. Then when he asked if I had any questions, I told him that it probably worked if he gave me the assignment to see if I’m a ‘good fit’. He seemed excited no one has ever asked him anything like that before. Then after I left the interview, he sent me an email with an assignment with the deadline on 5pm Wednesday .

I stayed up all night from 7pm to 4.30 am to do the assignment. At 1pm Wednesday the HR called to confirm that I received the email and asked about the progress. At 4.30pm I sent the assignment to him and he said he would give me a feedback today.

And today at 11am, he sent me an email confirming that the company would not proceed with my application. He confirmed it wasn’t about assignment he gave me in which he valued and appreciated.

I don’t know. I called it bullshit. If it wasn’t about the assignment then what would it be? And I just thought why wouldn’t I just scam the shit out of him at least for a month? Why did I just go an extra mile to prove my honesty and want the best for everyone? Why didn’t he just tell me that the work didn’t meet the criteria and he wished me the best of luck? Why just leave me in the limbo and leave me wondering what I did wrong ? Why ? Bullshit !

Anyway. I’ve got a new job interview coming up next week. Should I ask for the assignment again?

TL;DR : got a final round job interview on Tuesday and it seems like I got a job. Voluntarily asked for an assignment. Stayed up all night to do the assignment. Got a feedback from the employer that he will not proceed with my application today but he said it wasn’t about the assignment.
