Love how he’s critical of the 13-interview hiring process despite having done all 13 of those interviews.
“Nobody drives there anymore. There’s too much traffic.”
These companies can do 13 interviews because people will put up with them.
The little place I work does phone screen, work sample, final interview, reference check. We can be done in a week. Nobody wants to work with me bad enough to sit through 13 interviews.

- mgaunard 10mo ago13 interviews suggests he was interviewing for multiple roles within the same company; in which case it's not that shocking. In many places every team runs their own interviews.
- paulcole 10mo agoLord I would hope so lol
- lbrito 10mo agoEven more so for such a great engineer that in the words of his colleagues is "indispensable for the company". If you're such a rockstar you can probably get shortened loops in good companies through referrals
- ryandrake 10mo agoI’ve never seen someone skip the interview process or get it shortened through a referral. At best it will move your resume to the top of the big pile, which is very helpful, but I don’t think they help much more than that.
- lbrito 10mo agoI haven't personally seen it either, but there are many commentors on HN (it comes up every time there is a thread about interviewing) that describe precisely that.
- wiseowise 10mo agoDo you also pay 500k?
- paulcole 10mo agoIf we do, nobody told me.
