> I think the expectations for interviews became really distorted during the period a few years ago when some companies were hiring anyone willing to do a short interview.
I find this whole thread really enlightening. As someone who has been trying to move around in tech in the Bay Area, outside of Amazon who hired en masse, most companies have had 6-8 interviews as a standard hiring process for almost the last entire decade. What's really happening is that most of the people who were on the other side, being very selective in who they hire, are now really coming to terms with how bad the process is because they are the ones now trying to find jobs.
The problem always existed for someone else, now it exists for you.
