Maybe it's because I'm old but I'm not doing 4hrs of interviews for anyone.

  You probably will if your choices are limited and one of them is being unemployed or underpaid.

    I don't know how limited someone's choices can be if they consider working for Apple to be a real possibility.

  If I'm going to spend the next few years working with that individual you bet I'll give it four hours, then some, and a few days to reflect.

    I just don’t feel I get anything out of 4 hours that I wouldn’t get out of 1 hour. Someone either solidly sinks their chances in that time, or they’re adequate. Maybe I’ve never been in a position where I had to pick between two great candidates, but then, either one would have been fine.

  > Maybe it's because I'm old but I'm not doing 4hrs of interviews for anyone. Really? That's your complaint? As far as interviews go, I can't see anyone but yourself complaining about the length of interviews these days. It's usually the ridiculous breadth of knowledge required (on the tip of your tongue ready) that people get upset about. If anything, I'm usually wishing interviews with companies were longer so that I could assess the culture better. It's very hard to get a feeling if a place is the right place to work when you spend 85%+ of the time in interviews talking about yourself and then answering some leetcode/design/tell-me-about questions.
