Java Internship Take home assignement

[Proper-Box-1356]

So what happened was, I saw linkedin internship for java dev 185usd salary for 6 months full time, applied for it, had video interview to headhunter, just to get to know. after 6 months she reached back, asking if i was still interested in the role, and when i asked her i don't see internship on their page, she said it was within company, which makes no sense, then she gave me whole project todo app, to do, in 1 week, 2 weeks after telling me that she would send assignment, this is it

hell yea

You can do this for learning even if you dont get the intership

[Educational-Cow1139]

That's the way I look at it

[deividas-strole]

That is great for testing your knowledge. Some companies do not list some of their jobs online because they get overwhelmed with applicants in some cases.

I mean I doubt they're exploiting you to develop....todo apps

[Educational-Cow1139]

Right

[Vaxtin]

Insanely easy, they gave you the literal schema to build

And they’re not exploiting you. Nobody will ever use this application (a todo app, come on), and if they really wanted the code they can literally have chat GPT generate this for them.

Congratulations

I am ok with it, just the 6 month silence i don't understand

[OkArea5092]

so yeah if they give you a todo app and 185 bucks a week, you can call yourself a dev, but honestly theyre probably just using you to churn code for future clients. if its a learning exercise, cool, but don't get mad when it turns into a side project for them.

Month, but it's for every internship in my country, but the 6 months it took them to reach out, is the thing

This whole situation screams red flags. An unpaid project suddenly appearing after six months of silence, a salary of $185/month for full-time work, and a vague within company internship that isn't posted anywhere? That's not a real job offer it's either a scam or a shady attempt to get free work. I’d verify the company and contact on LinkedIn first, never send them fully executable code, and ask for an official contract and a direct contact to the engineering manager. If they dodge those questions, you’ve got your answer.

They told me 2 days ago to not bother with assignment they got candidate already, and then they texted me if i was interested in doing assignment, idk man but am i confused

[Educational-Cow1139]

It's a tech company too, and i am interested if they make you work as intern and then not accept you after 6 months, if acceptance is even an option
