FYI wouldn't interview here. Got rejected after a 30 minute behavioral screen after spending 8 hours on an unpaid take-home.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. You should reject take homes like this in future. At least, don’t invest 8 hours before they’ve even interviewed you. The time investment should be symmetrical for the candidate and the employer.
Are you saying you cannot be rejected in any following interview if you do a 8 hour unpaid take home?
Is it reasonable for non-technical screens to be sequenced before long, unpaid take homes?
