I agree. Every hiring process will have false negatives. Pointing out every one doesn’t invalidate the effectiveness of the process

  Effective for whom? And at doing what? SV is full of mediocre engineers; so it fails at guaranteeing you got yourself a star. And I don't think anyone needs more anecdotes to think great candidates lose for arbitrary/subjective/misunderstanding/random reasons -- I'm 15y into my career with a degree from CMU; I am treated like royalty everywhere I work ... and yet I still absolutely dread, hate and repeatedly have bad experiences interviewing for jobs. I've considered switching careers numerous times because of the emotional distress I go through just interviewing. And that's before we even talk about the insane amount of time every prospective employer demands of you!

    Who's forcing you to stay in SV? If it's making you so stressed out as you claim, then the obvious step, to me, would be a change of scenery.

    > insane amount of time every prospective employer demands of you I have worked an average of 40-hour/week jobs for my entire 30-year career. What's this "demand" nonsense?

      I believe parent is talking about time demands of the interview process, not the job.

        ah!
