For a senior manager role in business/strategy, what is the typical duration of a interview. How many rounds is normal

Normal is subjective across every company. On average, I’d say 4-5 rounds. Screening, technical interview, panel interview, or case study, final round(s).

These days it seems like any advance role will have at least four rounds of interviews. Organizations tend to spread the decision making around, for whatever reason. So you may wind up interviewing with a number of people before it's over.

Commonly 3–6 rounds over several weeks. Mix of behavioral, functional depth, stakeholder interviews, sometimes case work. Duration varies widely by company size and decision structure.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
