Is it possible to refuse TK?

Question

Career in IT

Good afternoon everyone. I'm going to look for a job as a front-end, 2 years experience. I would like to avoid three-stage interviews and large test tasks if possible. The last time I was looking for a job, the offers were different, including taking on the basis of a 30-minute conversational interview + 20 minutes for tasks and theory. When I realized that this was possible, it was a pity for the days spent on TK and nerves for 3-stage interviews.

Is there any way to increase the likelihood of shorter interviews? What should I say to an HR if I like the vacancy, but I’m ready to spend 2 days on TK only if I can’t get a job faster in other places?

Answer 1

Say that you don't do test tasks and they will just go looking for the next candidate

Answer 2

Yes. But this will be tantamount to refusing an interview.
But this does not mean that you will not be able to work with this company in the future.
Well, a test for two days of work is nonsense. Typically, a test should not take more than a few hours from the developer

Answer 3

Ask for payment for TK if it is for 2 days. Because you have been doing TK for these 2 days and you don’t have time to look for another vacancy where you might have been hired without TK. So you say.

Answer 4

You don’t look for work so often to worry about it
Calculate how much you spend a day on the road and multiply by 365 and think better how to save it

Answer 5

Whatever you want depends not on you, but on the employer.
Somewhere the interview goes without a test, somewhere with a test. There are no general rules that all employers would take and obey.
If you like the vacancy - communicate, negotiate. If you don't want to, look where you won't have to negotiate. But it will most likely take more time.

Answer 6

If you have the guts, then why not. Many simply ask for a git, and they are already driving at the social security. And if there is no git, then you will have to do it here.
