1. Recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn. 2. I replied with my interest to talk further 3. We talked on the phone 4. He then gave me a "take home" mini project to finish and send the code. Recruiter said the project will "just 2-3 hours". Turned out its more like 10+ hours of work with highly specific requirements that included a. 2 complex UI screens with very specific design requirements b. Networking c. Caching, d. Type Ahead algorithm and data structure e Unit Tests f. Well designed architecture g. Fully commented code 5. I sent the code. 6. Few days later got email that they no longer interested moving to next steps without any feedback.
