Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's my understanding that some firms will recruit candidates and assign them these take home tasks just to implement their work or get consulting on their practices with no intention to hire.
They may also post job descriptions and conduct interviews to keep up appearances that the firm is growing, or to destabilize established employees, again without intention to hire.
