Four days of silence after a four-hour task
The approach came first, and it came cold. “A recruiter messaged on LinkedIn, completely out of the blue, and when I read it my stomach dropped the way it does on a rollercoaster.”
Two processes ran from there. “I did a four-hour task for one. A two-hour task for the other.” Six hours of tasks between them.
At the time of writing, both processes were still open. “I’m in the final stages of two.”
Then one company did not reply. “One company hasn’t responded in four days. Four days of silence after a four-hour task.”
That is where the account ends, because that is where they were standing when they wrote it.
The source records one four-hour task and one two-hour task. It does not say whether either was paid, or what either company had promised. It also records four days without a response after the four-hour task.
Read together, those details show a mismatch between time asked of the candidate and time taken to acknowledge it. That is an interpretation of the account, not a claim about either company’s terms.
The account was written while both processes were still open. It has no outcome and this piece does not supply one.
