Re: help for django interview task

Yeah, don't do this for free. Forget about the job, they just want someone to do their work for free. Think of it as a problem to solve to help you learn Django. It is the kind of thing you will need to do in the real world as a Django developer. But forget about this company, they are taking you for a ride.

If you do go to the effort of implementing this, you could add copyright notices for yourself and license it under the GPL v3.

Many such interviews are designed to dupe people. It is a new trend in interviewing... sadly!!!

Many companies and startups when stuck with problems put out job ads(which are cheap), get resumes and give coding test to solve their problem. Hiring is not in their radar but getting code written to fix their issue is why they put the job ad in first place.

Walk away from a test if it takes more than 3 hours of your time. 

I have seen folks spend 40 hours building complex solutions, deliver them and not get hired. 

As for the company to put in writing their benefits and company policies and give you in writing on average bonus payout in last 3 years. If you are to spend so much time on coding, they should spend a fraction of time to give you a clear picture of what is on table should you get hired.  Most of the times you will find that the verbal submissions from HR and interviewer are false.

Get them to do something if they want to get you to put so much time on a coding test.

I agree with this. This is a bit much for an interview, unless they'll pay for your time.  That said, what you're being asked to do is rather advanced. It's a good task to use to broaden your Django skills but on your own timetable. If you still want to go ahead, I'd look up Dynamic Databases in Django. There's also this module, but it's not 100% what you're looking for: https://django-dynamic-db-router.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Which company is giving you a task to build a sort of full app functionality for interview?

What if you solve it and still they don't hire you? Will they pay for your time?

A small test is fine but if you going to work on something that takes you 20+ hours on a coding test, you are being taken for a ride.

Many fall in this trap and companies nowadays use this gimmick to get free code written.

draw out the program first and isolatie each problem you try to solve.

and start at the backend.

start small and increase the functions and try to grasp all.

At least in abstraction what you try to do. 

Than start writing the functions in a recipe overview. 

and after the application basics are installed( django app settings etc

write the functions in human language and/ or directly in the models forms etc.

succes!
