Sorry bro, before you do any take-home test next time, read up their Glassdoor comments. People would have warned not to do the take home assessments. I would advice going to Glassdoor to drop a comment on their company page about what they did, so others will learn.

Also, one red flag is that once you apply to a company & they send you a take home test without speaking to you first on a call, 9/10 they are scammers.
It's not always like that bro

Yes, but when 5 companies sends you take-home test & you do all of them, and only one gives you feedback, it means you have wasted your time & they never even lifted a finger, no time investment from them. A company who actually invest their time in speaking to you means more business, I'm telling you from experience. Also, It gives you an opportunity to ask the Interviewer how many rounds of Interviews at the beginning, anything more than 4 rounds and not a faang company should be rejected because you can't be spending all your time ontop of worthless pay.

[color=#1980BC] One of my current remote employs gave off that kind of vibes when i was applying to it...tests upon tests over long intervals that was leading to no where.. Until one test that nearly burst my brain and I just unloaded the whole sh**t on the recruiter, I believed he felt and knew I would try to trace him and strangle his neck...
unbeknownst to me, my employment letter was being typed the very moment I was busy giving the recruiter a piece of my mind.

Can I send a PM?

If it hadn’t been for outside help, I honestly believe I would have lost everything.

On December 17, 2025, I got a call from someone claiming to be an official MetaMask representative. They said my wallet had been compromised and urged me to move my funds to a “secure” wallet while they fixed the issue.

Trusting them turned out to be a huge mistake. About $22,000 worth of USDT was taken from my wallet. After two days of trying to reach them and getting no response, it became clear I had been scammed.

At that point, I reached out for professional help(CipherTraces). Through blockchain forensic analysis, the transaction trail was traced and my USDT was eventually recovered.

I’m sharing this as a warning, no legitimate wallet provider will ever call you or ask you to move your funds.

The firm that helped me was CipherTraces, and their contact info is help@ciphertraces.com
