I was thrilled to have a conversation with the GitHub recruiter and I took my time with their senior data storage .NET API coding exercise they assigned as the next step in the process. Last week, I received a standard rejection email from the recruiter. I pride myself on writing clean code, separating into separate layers/assemblies & documenting my public interfaces. I wrote tests for my backend services - all passed. I wrote comments documenting some limitations that my solution had. I even wrote comments as to what I would have done provided some of the restrictions of the exercise weren’t in place. If this was a real PR, I would have received concrete feedback and had discussions about my changes. I feel like my imposter syndrome has ticked up. What could I have done differently so that I can learn and grow from this? #GitHub #Interviews #CodingExercise
I remember the exercise they sent me had a few typos and mistakes. As if it was written by someone who only knew 1 way of doing things. I even had an interview to review it, and was rejected after, which was weird as I was the exact description of what they were looking for. I even told the interviewer and he didn't care to change it, even though he admitted the mistakes. The interviewer was arrogant and thought he was way more knowledgeable than he actually was. Because of that I was actually glad to be rejected, so I didn't have to make the decision.
Hmm, email and ask for feedback. If you don’t get a response, DM me.
I was told that wasn’t an option for the recruiter to share that information
Not sure about the policy here but lemme ask around.
I did the .NET Api exercise about 3 months ago and passed to the next stage. No feedback was provided. I did everything you mentioned in your post: organized the services appropriately, documented the limitations, added tests to all services, handled a few potential issues and documented the reasoning, handled basic validation, etc. There was nothing really special about it.
What were the next steps?
Interview with hiring manager followed by a virtual onsite.
I've done this exercise recently and haven't heard back yet. It seems that you've done much better than me. I feel that I've done the bare minimum to make their included tests pass. At least I won't be surprised if I get a rejection 🙂
Is it fine to use framework for building this api. Considering python as option for coding this task.
Did u get the answer to this? How are people creating apis without a framework? For python you'd need flask. For Java you'd need either spring or at least download tomcat and pull in dependencies using maven
They told me .Net is no longer an option now so have to pick another language and then i read this
Is it ok to use framework or not?
