that's how they lock you in 😄

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm currently transitioning from full-time researcher back to part-time freelancer so my project pipeline is completely empty and I never had a sales process to speak of since all my previous projects were always through referrals of previous clients. I'm afraid I already started the sign-up process without your link but I'll let them know when I talk to them.

would you mind sharing at what stage and how?

Sure. Couldn't solve the algorithmic challenge during the technical interview in time. They said I can try again in a month. Probably will.

I think it's worth trying again. I failed at least once before I passed everything, all on technical stages

That's motivating thanks =)
