As a last step of the interview process we ask candidate tech positions to work for 1-3 days to get a feeling of the workplace, team, projects. He will take free days from other job, whatever. During this time he would setup a project and work on assigned tasks while getting paid the wage they want. NOBODY rejected this experiment. Most didn't even asked for money, others asked reasonably around the average payment for that position.

Of course, in your example I would be very happy to let you walk away ...

Switching sides, I would be willing to spend a day or two with my future colleagues and very interested to read the fine details between the lines (i.e. take a look how code is written, tooling, meetings etc.). Then I am better prepared to decide if I should walk away.

The privacy policy states exactly the opposite, the messages are *heavily encrypted* - https://telegram.org/privacy#4.... It's a matter whom you choose to believe. Certainly not a random guy from the Internet.

"While Telegram servers will handle this end-to-end encrypted data to deliver it to the recipient â" or store it in the case of Telegram Passport data, we have no ways of deciphering the actual information. In this case, we neither store nor process your personal data, rather we store and process random sequences of symbols that have no meaning without the keys which we donâ(TM)t have."

That message thread is bullshit, Signal does encrypt messages locally "Once the messages are received and decrypted on a user's device, they are stored locally in a SQLite database that is encrypted with SQLCipher. The key to decrypt this database is also stored locally on the user's device and can be accessed if the device is unlocked." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
