don't do unpaid take-home coding challenges. particularly if you have no idea what the company is offering for compensation should you get the offer.

For a well established developer, this may be true, but for newer developers, they often have to jump through a lot of hoops to prove their skills first, especially if they come from a non-traditional background and do not have a CS degree.

Do you think this issue is less pronounced with the move toward companies providing compensation guidelines up front?

I only agree so far as the take-home challenge has no time restrictions.

I would choose a take-home coding challenge over any white boarding challenges.
