How do I pass a coding test? (lemmy.world)

Seriously, been working as a software developer for 9 years now and never passed a single coding test.

The jobs I got were always the ones giving me weekend projects or just no coding test at all.

I have a job opportunity that looks exciting but they sent me this coding test link and I know I'm gonna fail for sure. Any tips aside from the obvious (practicing in advance on leetcode etc)?

Don't give the test. Tell the examiner to first be able enough to test you.

Let me tell people that most HRs are purely professional and don't budge 1 bit till they receive money. Simply say to them, I'll code as much as you want me to after we discuss the payment terms.

Easy way to never get a job.

The market is very competitive right now.

Can I have one?

Currently, we have no open positions.

When we have, we simply look for old projects which people have done and ask them some basic programming questions in interview.

As for the interrogation, if the cops call me instead of a hiding oversmart ass, I will answer them about my 'statistics' of employees!
