I think you forgot to add the "/s" to this statement.

Maybe you are idealistic and work for non-profit dealing with human trafficking in your spare time and have to cut it to take a silly HackerRank test?

Why are you interviewing if you're working your dream non-profit job?

[bitL]

You mean you do service to other people for no salary in your spare time and you are asking why do you need a job to pay bills? Seriously?

[mywittyname]

The phrase, "work for a non-profit" implies some level of compensation. Had you instead said, "volunteer for a non-profit," then I would have understood that you were working in your spare time and for no pay.

More likely it is watching Netflix and reading HN...let's not pretend we're all out there saving the world and volunteering our free time for selfless causes...

It's just an example of course. But even downtime from work is massively important for your mental health, why it should be interrupted by a constant treadmill on recruiter's rat race?

Isn't this self imposed if you are the one applying for the job??? I don't get it, if some rando recruiter emails me a Hacker Rank test, I delete the email if I'm not interested...pretty simple. If I am interested, then I apply and that is no longer an "interruption"...or at least it is self imposed so there is no real reason to complain.
