There are scammers everywhere. I hope you don’t giveaway your hard work for free.

The person seems to still work there using the company email. The job posting was also up by the company on LinkedIn. It seems legit? However while working on it… I just decided to stop. It started to feel too much and left me with a bad taste. Like I was being so desperate to prove myself that I would just give all that for free. Maybe it’s a missed opportunity… oh well, luckily I still have my current job and I realize doing all that I can basically make those designs for my own personal work.

Whoever this person is, may have been looking to get someone else to do their work/project under the ruse that it was for a “job opportunity.” I don’t think you should have any regrets; if it was legitimate, they would have interviewed you, given you a smaller sample project, but this sounded like a whole collection. I think you dodged what could have been a scam.

Totally a scam.
A legitimate company would put you through at least 1-2 rounds of interviews before asking for a project. Plus they would want to get to know you and your taste level, and explain what they want to see from the project that they didn’t see from your portfolio. And that “project” is way too big. Don’t waste your time, or give away free work!

What should be the standard rate for interview projects. Someone on this thread had mentioned $45 p/piece.
If we can come up with standard pricing for projects and have a company like StyleCareers push the standard; maybe even “brand” the standard so that companies who participate, get special recognition, it might be doable.
