I put out an application for a Senior dev role at Capital One and it immediately sent me a request to do a CodeSignal assessment, with the deadline being within the next 14 days. I’m absolute garbage at code assessments and the reality kicked in that I am not ready to be applying to listings that are guaranteed to have coding assessments.
If I bomb the assessment, is the score going to get logged to a permanent record and affect other applications or future applications? Is withdrawing the application a better option?
This is a pretty embarrassing problem to be having as someone with a senior title applying to other senior titles, so feel free to flame me. The obvious solution is don’t apply if I’m not ready next time. And to get ready, I’m guessing I need to be grinding LeetCode and practicing mock interviews.
