New rule for myself

Sorry I haven't been very active the last few weeks. I've been dealing with some personal life and interviewing.

However, I wanted to drop this in here. I recently did a technical challenge, and I felt strongly that I nailed it, more confidently than most of the technical challenges I've done. But I got a "no" today, after waiting two weeks for a response while their only HR gatekeeper was on vacation. And the feedback was so short-sighted and awful.

So I have a new rule for myself. If any company wants to give me a take home technical challenge, they have to schedule a follow-up interview with it. I'm not going to let them use it as purely a filter anymore. This is going to go poorly for some opportunities, I know that, but I think it's more than reasonable to ask for that.

Thoughts?
