The most insane interviews/take-homes I've ever gotten

Is this the case with everyone or just me?

Interviews have gotten so much more difficult than they were about 1-2 years ago. The take homes are also very intense.

I just got a take home that would be at least 10+ hours of work to do (build a full langauge model classification pipeline, then put it in an API). I've never seen anything like this, or had any friends before get these either.

Is the interviewee expect to use claude code/codex or have standards just risen that every DS is now cracked? It's like they gave a whole team's sprint or more as a take home.

I think claude can solve this in like 45 minutes but still I would be sweating here for hours trying to crank this out.
