> I've never had a test come later. 15 minute interview call to make sure the high level details are correct (pay, location, physical office vs. Remote, etc), and then I am sent an interview test.

Depends on the company. My personal experience has luckily been (so far) that more companies I've interviewed with who do take-homes at all have given them later on in the process.

I suspect with the current job market situation given all the recent layoffs that things will probably start to shift for those companies that do take-homes, where they'll probably start giving them to candidates at the beginning of the interview process, as they'll probably see it as an easy filter for themselves. Ugh.
