So an interview like that should be the first, and if they don't clear it, reject them outright. Do the same for every round. I don't know which sadist in HR or management came up with the idea of doing 6-8 mandatory interviews fo

I think the risk is low, for the following reasons: 1. Many (if not most) companies still prefer even WFH jobs to be in the same or nearby time zones. 2. There are jobs that cannot be outsourced to other countries for legal reasons, e.g. if
