Do you typically take interviews even if you're happy with your current role and firm, or do you prefer to be more selective about the companies you interview with? Personally, I’d only consider interviews after doing some due diligence, such as checking Glassdoor rating, evaluating benefits, looking into the company’s reputation, and reaching out to any contacts who work there. However, some of my friends are more open to interviewing for practice, to gain market insights, or for other reasons.

You need to constantly be on the job hunt. You have no idea what opportunities you may be missing out on. Your current firm can dump you tomorrow and not think twice about it

I get where you're coming from. It’s definitely wise to stay aware of opportunities, even if you’re not actively looking.

Unless a company came to me with a potential offer that was significantly more than I’m making now and/or a step up career wise, I don’t interview with other companies. I already have too much on my plate. I would vet the company before considering accepting an offer.

That makes a lot of sense. It’s hard to justify the time and effort without a clear upside. Being selective definitely saves energy.
