Can the industry revert back to 1 interview for a job, not 3 or more rounds & spanning months please. Get decision makers, and those who need to truly weigh in to have it in 1 day? For whatever reason this started (tech companies, or teams trying to make collective ‘collaborative’ decisions), please de-bloat, and streamline & simplify to 1 interview to figure out the yes/no/maybe candidates.

While that'd be nice i feel like it does end up taking longer the more you advance in your career

I agree it should be done quickly, all rounds within a week if possible. But it should never be one interview, too much risk in hiring talent who isn’t a fit.

like

Agreed. The ideal situation (in my opinion!!) is a recruiter screen, an interview with the hiring manager, and an interview with an additional team member over the course of a week or two

Maybe I’m showing my age here, but was it ever just 1 interview for a job?

I only had 1 interview at multiple jobs in the late 90's/early 2000's. Ever since then it's been increasing.

We have too little revenue and too little margin. 7 interviews for a director level role is the sign of a dying industry.

Part of me doesn’t blame them. The hires mean so much because a mistake means a risk of 10-15% of the total billable hours.

It used to be be 3-5%. And you used to have truly smart decisions makers in advertising. They’re gone now.

7 interviews is nuts. 3-4 (including a recruiter screen) is the sweet spot and already ends up taking a while because people have 0 bandwidth nowadays

Like everything else, this will never be walked back

Just wait until you have to navigate multiple rounds of AI interviewers to get the job.

I accepted an offer from another consulting firm and my H1B visa has also been transferred. I have not joined the new role yet. However I had been interviewing with another firm and expecting an offer I know this is not the best practice but is it allowed to accept another offer even though H1 transfer has been approved through another employer? If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?

What would happen if I left my current company, started at a new one, and got pregnant before 12 months of service with the new company? For reference, I know new company requires 12 months for FMLA, and STD is 3 months.
