More often than not the test is at best tangentially related to the role.

At worst it’s the biggest hardos on the team writing a bunch of brain teasers and gotchas as a hazing ritual.

> I honestly don't know what's so wrong about taking a test for a job, unless the job already requires some kind of certifications/licenses.

You already have a degree from some university, and you already worked in software development for quite some time. So it's very annoying to do some test over and over again for every job application.
