I tried this process because it sounded pretty fun and unique.
One warning I have for anyone interested is that there are some big waiting times involved. I'll share my timeline. Some of the lags were on my end, but I was assured I had as much time as I needed.
- Day 0-6 - First contact
- Day 7 - Assigned work sample
- Day 21 - Submitted work sample
- Day 62 - Work sample results returned
- Day 72 - Paid work day
- Day 79 - Work day report completed
- Day 85 - Final decision
Overall there were 21 days where they were waiting on me and 47 days where I was waiting on them. This seemed to me like a lot of waiting but maybe it is normal.
I probably worked 15 hours on the work sample, 8 hours on the work day, and 8 more hours putting together the report after the work day.
