==> Redditor u/butAblip Spent 50 hours on a take-home assignment only to be ghosted.

Been there, done that. I spent considerably more than 50 hours on it, too, not because I broke the rules but because they made it a point to specifically emphasize that I should take my time rather than submit something half-baked. – I will not be so naive in the future. Now I specifically ask how many other candidates for the same spot are in the stage of the take-home exercise. If it’s more than half a dozen, forget it, I’m not doing it.

It also depends on several further factors: Anything up to 48 hours I might do for free. For anything more, I would push pretty hard to get paid for my time to ensure they have skin in the game. Many reputable companies do this now.
