Just curious how often those of you who are interviewing have been tasked with an issue and then asked to come up with a plan and presentation of how you would address it. I’ve had this four times now.

    IMO it’s pretty common and usually generic situations. Red flags for me would be if it is an oddly specific problem (like you are solving something real for them) or they’re asking you to create something in advance or retaining ownership of your design/creations.

    I was in the same situation and eventually was fired by this boss when I stopped being complacent and spoke up.

    I was lulled into security thinking I wouldn’t be let go. If she doesn’t like you and isn’t supportive it will be difficult to change her.

    Make looking your priority and get away from her toxicity.

    I'm curious what type of job you're interviewing for. I have not heard of this, but if they aren't paying you for the time to complete this assignment... Seems unfair to me.
