You are not alone. This industry is full of Steve Jobs wannabes who all think they are working on the next big thing. They will correspondingly make the interview process a multiday hazing ritual while screaming about the lack of qualified

You should read stories of what happened to a lot of men when they opened up to their wives or other long term partners. It just seems rare that women can maintain attraction after seeing a man be weak and vulnerable.

Ultima online just seems to have so many awesome stories.

Men are being held up to unreasonable emotional standards in general. No weakness, no crying, no feeling like shit ever. These standards lend more and more credence to the thing that Chris Rock said, "Only women and children are loved

“I’m feeling nothing at all” to “I’m useless and the world is going to hell” I don't see anything wrong with people feeling like any of those 2 from time to time. If it is continuous and long term, then it's a matter of concern.

Define good. What specific skills do you want? How much experience in each of those skills? I have noticed that too many times employers want literal gods to come in and fix their entire tech stack, their product, and by extension their com

Yes. With all these idiotic ideas of "everyone should code". I never saw a lawyer saying "everyone should become a lawyer".

I think you are trying to make your process sound like a workaround, but it is impossible to scale and sounded painful to me anyways.

All 3 were engineers. Although I think 2 of them were front end engineers even though my experience is backend, but I can't be sure because I had a bunch of interviews lined up at that time. Maybe that's why they have scheduled 2

Not all of us have that privilege.

I interviewed for a small company, and I gave 8 rounds before being told no. Another small company I am interviewing for, had a screening, a take home, discussion of the take home, and now a 3 round onsite.

> One round, possibly with several people, should be enough. The onsite, frequently, has 3-5 interviews each an hour long. On site is after the initial 1-2 rounds of screening. I have not seen a single company hire with less than 4 round

I'm sure that paradoxically your company must have sky high hiring standards, with interviewers particularly grilling candidates about best practices? This is not even sarcasm.

Mostly ecommerce, but varied. 6 yoe. Backend/Python. I have applied to hundreds of places, grinded leetcode, studied advanced system design, and am near giving up. Becoming a famous actor is probably easier than this.

You contacts can refer you and get you an interview. After that, it's still 6-8 rounds of grilling. That's my experience anyways.

> I have no idea how to interview anymore; Same. Anytime someone says the market is hot, I get irrationally angry. It's probably hot for kids in their 20s with ex FAANG experience. Not so much for the rest of us.

I did. Mostly, I did not get an interview. The few places I did, I did not make it through the onsite.

Not to mention shoehorning MongoDB into everything because "MySQL is slow". This is at a startup that doesn't even have 100 concurrent users, and their data and queries are nothing special.

I have been in a situation where I only met my manager once every 6 months. That too, only because I insisted. It was an incredibly shit work environment. 0 onboarding, sink or swim. My buddy just ignored me most of the time.

Counting it as 1 step doesn't communicate what it's like. You could theoretically have ten 1 hour interviews, back to back in 1 day, and call it 1 step in a multistep process, but most people would call it excessive.

> in person interviews. Usually a full day with the company flying you out to their location. This would be a mix of culture fit, tech questions, meeting the team, etc. Why would you count that as 1 interview? It's always an exhaust

1 online test An interview to discuss my approach to that test Then a full day onsite of 4 technical interviews, mix of algorithms and systems design. Final round with CTO, culture fit etc.

Incorrect. Even for unknown small companies, 7-8 rounds is pretty standard now.

And the hiring managers all made offers to the same 5 people. So those 5 think the job market is hot, hiring managers think candidates are unreasonable, the rest of the 25 candidates without an offer are getting tired of leetcode marathons.
