Nail on head, and if I had to stack rank the highest to lowest contribution I would say: 1, 2, 4, 3, 5 Rates rule everything around you. Macro. Hiring stand

Nail on head, and if I had to stack rank the highest to lowest contribution I would say: 1, 2, 4, 3, 5 Rates rule everything around you. Macro. Hiring standards absolutely went out the door. I remember being on interview panels in 2020-2021 and it was - more open roles, less candidates per role, higher fill rate per role, fewer interview rounds per role. Tax code seems to be a big factor and being called out by journalists in the know. It's also telling that FAANGs are winding down / shrinking their more "moonshot" and "researchy" areas that have no real products or high staff to actual product ratios. I think 3&5 are much lesser impact but certainly there.

I remember being on interview panels in 2020-2021 and it was - more open roles, less candidates per role, higher fill rate per role, fewer interview rounds per role. I sure wish I had that experience. I went some 6 rounds at my pre-COVID job and when layoffs hits I was 4 rounds in with 3 other companies before I accepted my next job (which was 3 rounds, but I had a referral from a very early employee) now I'm laid off again and it's still 4-5 rounds, but less vibes on if that even leads to an offer. I went 5 rounds with one studio and then they ghosted me for 3 months. Unthinkable in 2022.
