After applying to industry gig, I get 4 interview invites from company across 2 days. Haven’t even had a discovery chat with recruiter or hiring manager, just straight into 4 interviews. Anyone heard of this approach? Why set all this up when after having initial chat either side could say it’s not a good fit?

I am currently a civil engineer thinking of switching to software engineering. I got my masters in water resource engineering where I was coding a decent amount for assignments and it has really stuck with me. Unfortunately, in my current role and field (civil), I don’t really get to do much coding. Does anyone have a similar experience of jumping ship to do software engineering? What would be the best way to go about it (coding bootcamp, another degree, something else)?
