You are a fairly well known dev. That certainly opens doors.

- jedberg 7y agoSure, but like I said, I wasn't an outlier in that respect. Everyone got the same treatment. It always started with a hiring manager reaching out directly.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y ago> Everyone got the same treatment. Even those living 500+ miles away?
- jedberg 7y agoOk fair. Usually those folks had their first couple interviews on the phone first and then we flew them in if the feedback was positive, and then compressed phase one and two into a single day. After phase one you got lunch and then either moved onto phase two or got told that it wasn't a good fit and got sent back to the hotel.
- zerr 7y ago> it wasn't a good fit Do you mean based on the short talk during lunch? That must be quite a stressful lunch I guess :)
- jedberg 7y agoNo I mean based on the phase one interviews in the morning. Lunch was usually not part of the interview. Oftentimes we let the candidate have the hour alone if they wanted it, or we would keep them company. Whichever they preferred.
- yibg 7y agoI was 1000+ miles away and the whole thing took less than a week start to finish. From my observations that wasn't an anomaly.
- myvoiceismypass 7y agoI got this treatment and I was living on the east coast when I was interviewed. Very fast, no nonsense process.
