Entitled much? Instead of 4 hours of your time [0], you get to waste up to 90 days of an employer's? (or more likely some multiple of that, counting interactions with others on the team)

[0] it probably takes even more of the employer's time in reviewing and discussing the application.

Hiring sucks for all parties. Everyone should try to meet half way, and be respectful of the other's time.

But that's what I 'm saying. Don't waste my time, I didn't get to this high level job I'm in by being so stupid I can't write a ten line Python script. Interview me, ask what I've done, don't think your company is so advanced that nothing compares and you have to give basic skills tests to everyone. If a company thinks that at my level I might not have the skills I have demonstrated, I don't want to waste my time with that company. Entitled? Yes. I've earned it over the past 30 years.

Good luck with that. Employeers need good senior staff a lot more than those senior staff usually need that specific job.
