I totally agree with your 4 points. However, OP, in my interpretation, is arguing that the job change process is so much more dependent on those few hours of interview rather than career-long growth that career-long growth (or on-the-job performance) doesn't matter.
Of course, interviews are meant to test candidates on their career development and growth as well, but in reality, it is uncertain whether they do, especially if they are focused on LeetCode/theory questions.
- secondaryacct 5y agoI dont know which domain you work in, but in banking everyone knows everyone and the interview either doesnt happen or doesnt lead to hiring if you ve been visibly slacking off.
- ALittleLight 5y agoOnce I wanted a role change. I worked on it with my manager, tried to pick up work related to the new role, set career plans, all that stuff, for months. Couldn't quite get it done because I always wound up paying more attention to the duties of my current role than the one I wanted. Interviewed with a different group for the role I wanted and got it with a few hours of interviews. It was absolutely not the case that I learned anything relevant from my experience trying to switch roles on my current team. It absolutely was the case that the 3-4 hours of interviewing (plus luck of the draw on my interviewers and their questions) meant way more to my career than months of planning and effort.
