One interview a week? Where do you get the time? There’s often the HR/recruiter call, a screen, a tech interview or project or whatever and then the meet the team, architects whatever. That’s 2-3 hours minimum a week.
- fbrncci 4y agoThe interviews are all HR screens (I no longer respond to recruiters) with the goal of getting the technical take home, technical interview or team chat. Its more or less 3-5 hours a week if I advance past the first interview. This week for example I had a follow up and review from a take-home I did last week, which ended in a declined offer; but a good future networking opportunity at that company. Some technical take homes take me the entire weekend. Where do I get the time? I am just getting better at managing my time and focusing on the projects. After you do quite a few, it just becomes a challenge, and things don't feel as stressful anymore. Admittedly, I do spend too much time on software next to working in software; its not your usual situation.
