I've only taken 1 job where I applied and interviewed through a normal pipeline, which was when I moved country. Now, I have been through the whole application and interview process quite a few times, getting either rejected or an offer, but for one reason or another I've never accepted the offer. So for every other job I've had I've either been approached or I mentioned I was looking, and by doing so I got to skip some or all of the process. Once the process being "I still have to interview you though" "ok..." "That was your interview, did you enjoy it?" I didn't aim for this though. I'm not a networking type person. I'm very shy. I've been active on various local or niche tech forums and chat servers, been to tech meetups where I've mostly been quiet.
