Curious as to what the longest period of time everyone has spent interviewing for a position is. I have a friend who once spent two months going back and forth with a company and the final offer wasn’t even close to the amount of effort he put in.

I went back and forth for three months. It was brutal. I did finally get the job though!

Shockingly I was in talks with a startup for one year - over 8 interviews then paused for a few reasons each time it came to an offer. Then they finally came back randomly and said they were going to promote internally. Literally just kept going because it was getting hilarious but I put a plan together for them and everything which I’m sure is being used. Companies are wild.

Depends on the industry as well
