I was looking for work between January and mid April, and it was among the worst few months of my life. The entire process is humiliating and you're constantly stressed because you need to do it to even have a chance to feed yourself. Sorry you're going through that comrade.
Same. Took me 3 excruciating months, 40 applications, like 15 interviews, some with 4 rounds. I honestly had to work more searching for a job then actually working. If this is supposed to be a “labor market” I shudder to think what happens when it’s not.
What even the fuck? You've got a resume, you've got thirty minutes, make a judgement call so everyone can get on with their lives. Which consultant got rich off of inventing this fifteen interview reality TV elimination bullshit?
And then they complain how they can’t find anyone.
1st round is with HR person, usually half an hour with dumb HR questions. 2nd is with some lead developer (or three) coding skills. 3rd is system design 2 hours, with presentation for like 4 people. 4th is with some higher ranked manager 30-60 min.
In total the process took 2 months from my application.
At Oracle it was like 5 rounds, but I said fuck this shit after 2nd and took the job offer I had, because I couldn’t handle all that bullshit any more, even though the offer was significantly worse then what Oracle was offering.
