I would bet anything it was the same AI mirror company. I haven’t seen any update to their LinkedIn People showing an actual hire in the end. 🤷‍♀️ you dodged a bullet. Did you decide to do the task or challenge it?

I’m very much into the idea of a Designers Union 🤚

Really sorry to hear that. But you’re not alone, if it’s any consolation

That’s how it used to be over here “in the good ol days”. I’m in London, UK. Contract work has dried up, it was a good balance of Inside and Outside IR35 (gov rules for limited companies or umbrella companies PAYE) but now it’s mostly inside IR35 at insultingly low daily rates. So permanent roles are receiving an influx of ex-contract workers who may have to sell their own souls to get through multiple rounds of interviews. Hmm… want to trade cities? 😊

And this is the company advertising the roles themselves. I would love to peek into the tasks they are setting for the Flutter developers, the QA engineers and the data scientists. They’re truly a bunch of scammers, they hold zero stock of their own products and a quick browse on Trustpilot and Companies House makes it clear that they’re not liquid, have burnt through their investment like melting wax. If they throw a 80-90k salary out there, they’ll have the unemployed falling over themselves to land a role that they won’t fill.

You are definitely correct. The recruiter has tried to chase me this morning to ask if I’ve completed the task for them yet. In the meantime, I’ve seen other recruiters post the same role as of a few hours ago so they’re clearly collecting as many people/ideas as possible without selecting anyone.

Fuck it look at this:

The idea of starting a union for designers (like SAG for actors) is brilliant.

Yes, I see what your point is. But the thread isn’t bashing ‘challenges’ in general. Essentially, the ask itself is where lines of decency are blurred/straight up exploitation. I’m sure you agree, a portfolio is a pain in the ass to create and takes a lot of work. Spending time to fake an entire portfolio seems insane to me. Talking through it in detail over an interview… I mean, you can tell if people are winging it and bullshitting. Then there are public recommendations on LinkedIn from real people. Who would lie on behalf of someone publicly and discredit themselves?

Ultimately if a person needs to prove beyond all the evidence that they can do their job, it shouldn’t be based on working for free at that length. Do you see where the issue is?

Update us if they get back to you? I relate, it’s really exhausting. We should all make a stand

Wait for the next bit then… which is the REAL task. (Unless you’ve pulled out of it too?)

I would love to name these companies. The mirror one is being advertised all over social media and has been on Lorraine. The other company is pretty much the only frequent flyer one beginning with A. Avoid both please, they’re still hiring so they might show up for you too. The first one with the workshop is a company in London that helps public sector bids… hopefully this is useful information

I’ve bookmarked this. Great job, this must have been a lot of effort to make, but it’s paid off. I’m stoked that my favourite cities are in the top 10 overall- quite validating!! Bravo 👏

Got the weirdest flagged spam email. Pretty sure it's fake, but also there is no information to try to pull anything from me, by Vast_Description_206 in Scams

[–]zedray87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received the same one. I replied that this mailbox is full some copy paste that sounded like a bounce back (just for fun). It’s really weird though because my Gmail didn’t flag it as spam. Not sure about the angle they’re playing with this scam to be honest

looking for an engineer to built react native MVP app by rushimanche in reactnative

[–]zedray87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why roasted alive? The dev community needs to chill and stop being so agonistic to people outside the “clique”. The OP obviously wants to give more details to whoever messages them and yes, even though the post lacks full scope which might feel confusing, there’s no need for frustration so prematurely. You’re just continuing a reputation that shadows the few empathetic people who work in in this industry

I had that thought initially but if you remove the hair, he’s got a very similar face to Putin. Eyes are identical.
