Can you describe what you see as the insanely ridiculous interview process? Most of the interviews I have initiated are something like:

    - 30 minute recruiter call
    - 30-60 minute manager call
    - 2x 60 minute leetcode easy/medium
    - 1x 60 minute STAR behavioral
    - 1x 60 minute systems design or maybe doubling up on a previous category

So for a total investment of what, 6 hours, I can go from a cold call to an offer of something like 150k-300k/y? And I'm not even playing in the FAANG ecosystem.

I'm not sure if we are experiencing different processes, or we have different opinions about what kind of time / reward tradeoff is reasonable.
