Was this us (Fly.io)? I'm not sure how many companies give the 2 hour guideline, but we definitely do.
We don't fail take homes because of edge cases though. There are things we expect people to handle in the challenges that are important, but I don't think more/less time really influences those.
Please don’t tell me that the compensation ranges I’m seeing for fly.io are accurate - between $130k - $170K.
Those are standard enterprise CRUD salaries. I’m not trying to be demeaning. Those are the kinds of jobs I had most of my career until 2020. But they are a dime a dozen and I definitely wouldn’t do a take home test for one.
