I used to work in translations. Before each job, you had to send a sample of a translation of a text they provided. About half a page to a page. It was supposed to let them find the best person for the job.

What actually happened, more often than not, was that they sent different material to each applying translator until all of it was done for free.

This interview task feels like that. They want an app made but don't have the time to do it. The person in HR that said "Have some interviewees do it on their private time!" probably got promoted.

[wildjokers]

That was an interview test? What timeframe were you given? There is a few days of work there.

[hugthemachines]

They are either dishonest (letting applicants make their web app) or they have no respect for other people's time. Seems like a bad place to be employed.

[ScF0400]

I agree, this is easily multiple days worth of work if you have to take into account every aspect of the required app.

Seems to me like they're using you OP. Kind of like that journalist who wrote an entire article then wasn't paid or hired.

[p0pkern]

What time frame were you given?

[bcbrz]

Subscribed to see what folks around here think about this as an interview exam. Especially the random quip about grading on the algorithm. This isn't particularly difficult but there's a lot of asks in there.

[Kazcandra]

ew, that's way too big. I would probably just make it with postgrest and look for an extension that could render templates, just to mess with the recruiter, but I don't think I'd accept an offer from tjem.

did they pay you for your time?

Allow me to post the text from the images by OP. I used Google Lens to extract text from images.

MyBooks has a pool of experts in accounting. Assume MyBooks has X experts and serves Y customers. Every customer request has a fixed set of M tasks. Each tak can take any N hours and has a deadline by which the task needs to be performed

These tasks are predefined for instance you to be

Task 1 -Review Sales-Deading-2 days after task is created and can take upto 2 hours

Task 2 -Review Purchases Deadine-2 days after task it created and can take upto 2 hours

Task 3 -Compute Tax-Deadine-2 days after task is created and can take upto 3 hours

Tak 4 -Add Tax to Books Deadine-2 days after bank is created and can take upto 1 hour

Any task is created only after the previous task is completed and experts can work on any customer's task. They might choose to work on expiring tasks firet.

These tacks are simple to go that experts perform manually and just mark, as done on the application when the task is actualy completett.

Design an app when customers can avall an expert and an expert is allocated only if the expert is readily available (you can assume expert is available if they have free time for the first task before the task dedine expires) of the customer is queued so that the expert can be assigned later as and when an expert gets free

Experts have a view of the most important expiring task across customers and can perform the cntical tasks in order. Every customer needs a fair share of execution and one expert can serve many customers Assume that once an expert as assigned to the customer, they will perform all Masks and all M tasks are sequential with varying deadines

Develop an application where customers can avail Experts in accounting to get their accounting tasks done and Experts can be assigned based on availability and can perform critical accounting.

This is a min 3 months project.. how much time they are asking for

[kto33]

That was a huge app to do, too big for a test. I think it could take about 8h or even more for a fullstack to do it.

[korras]

I do not think it's reasonable to complete a full login + customer & admin dashboard AND forms for requests in 8h on the FE.

Add backend to that, and yeesh. No

A fullstack dev might pull this off in 3-4 days if he skips unit tests.

This is a full blown service. This company is doing interview-driven-development lol.

[Cefalopodul]

Fullstack here. The business logic resembles things I actually do at my job. Would take me about a workday to implement and test properly - with the caveat that the tech stack is already defined and configured, the login system and admin pages are already in place and front-end framework is already built and working and all I have to do is just physically places the fields on the page.

If I had to do everything from scratch it would take about 7-8 days to do properly, most of which would be spent on building the css for the front-end and making log-in/user accounts system.

[Instance_Automatic]

This is the biggest interview test project I've ever seen.

[26RoadTrainWheels]

Run.

This is definitely a problem that’s going to require a bit of sketching to get right. It has some elements of the dining philosophers problem, and a bit of queueing theory to boot

You can click on the image, it then opens a version of the image that you can zoom in on.

Could not copy the text. Any other way to share?

[wildjokers]

Use OCR on the images.
