Sure, but all in all, you just need 100 frequent HN users hating on these interviews to fill all related threads with such complaints, and there are dozens of millions of SWE worldwide. Big tech companies still hire mostly based on this typ

If you're willing to switch, you're better off doing a bunch of interviews at the same time. One interview per quarter is suboptimal in terms of negotiating power, it's strictly worse than e.g. three interviews per year but s
