I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Blockhouse Capital (Chapel Hill, NC) in Sept 2024
Interview
They said I was "fast-tracked" and requested a work trial that had a 24 hour time limit. Once I turned it in I never heard from them again , they completely ghosted me. They also say you can reach out with questions but they never give you any sort of way to contact them.

Question 1
Build a web application using Next.js on the frontend and integrate it with a Django API backend. The application will feature a basic dashboard page with multiple charts (Candlestick, Line Chart, Bar Chart, and Pie Chart), and the data will be retrieved from the backend (it can be hardcoded in the backend).

Interview
The interview process started on a positive note, and I was excited to proceed. I was assigned a take-home task with instructions to submit it within a day. Due to other work commitments, I started the assignment later in the day and reached out for clarification on the deadline, asking if submission past midnight was acceptable. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive a response.
After dedicating several hours to the assignment, I followed up 10 days later but received no feedback or acknowledgment. It’s now been around 20 days since the submission, and I still haven’t heard back. Clearer communication during the process would have been appreciated, especially given the time investment. I would recommend future applicants clarify deadlines and expected response times before starting any assignments.
