What do you do when a company you’re excited about asks for a big unpaid assignment as part of the hiring process? Like, you don’t want to say no and lose the chance... but also, it’s actual work. Time, thought, and creativity—all of it. And no guarantee of anything in return, no compensation, and no security of your ideas. It’s not easy to draw boundaries when the opportunity feels big. But our time does have value—even when we’re applying. So as a designer, how do you approach such instances?

Just to add, the task can take 2 weeks to complete, and they ask you to do it in 2 days and submit.

I hate when they do that, it’s unjust, non-proportional and exploitative!
