Exploratory is usually about if you fit, you’re personable, curious, friendly, and not arrogant. Recent hires I’ve spoken to did 2x rounds of 2x interviews which included case interviews. I was a lateral hire some years ago and they gave me 3x rounds of 2x interviews. They let you know the outcome same day.

When calculating YOE, if you are working 2 jobs, can you double count those years?

So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them. Don’t know if there’s any practical reason just curious peoples opinion
