I work 10 hours a day, my wife does as well, and we start at substantially different times. We have a child who can stay up until 11.
If I'm doing multiple interviews (which everyone should be doing) and each requires 3 hours of my time (generous underestimate) then what am I going to do? Hire a sitter for a potential job for each of these companies?
Give me whiteboarding interviews -- at least the studying is cross applicable.
- FiddlyPack 8y agoLast time I went interviewing, that’s exactly what I did for the take home projects: hire a sitter.
- nostrebored 8y agoWhen you're looking at $60 an interview and looking at probably 10+ interviews to find a good fit then why am I going to spend $600 when I can brush up on information that I already know from school and work at a fraction of the cost?
- FiddlyPack 8y agoIt’s a place you want to work? I’ve never done more than 3 interviews in a go, but I also only apply to jobs I really want.
- hn_throwaway_99 8y ago> then what am I going to do? Hire a sitter for a potential job for each of these companies? Yes, why not? For many people taking time off their existing job during the work day to interview is difficult, but they find a way to do it. My whole point in this thread is not that interviewing isn't onerous, or that some companies may require more of a time investment than some people are willing to make (and, if that's the case, it's fine to say that job/company isn't for you). What I find obnoxious is when people turn their unwillingness to spend time on the interview or homework as "you are discriminating against me because I am older or because children."
- nostrebored 8y agoBecause that's absurd when I can just apply to companies that have reasonable hiring practices that aren't effectively lock in.
