The one I just went through took about 3 months. It was worth it though. What's yours?

4-5 months for an SE position at a dream company that made it worth it

Depends on the process, I’ve gone through 3 interviews that took months. Hour long each. Sometimes I felt they keep people in limbo just incase they didn’t find the right fit, their right fit. No one is a perfect so you never know what they are looking for, I don’t think in most cases they know. Anyway, while waiting keep looking. Sorry if that’s confusing. Interviewing is confusing ..😀 so don’t stress to much.

6 months and I was one of two remaining but they went with the other person.

It happens, it was a tough field. I ended up getting something else that is closer to what I truly enjoy.

I think 3 or 4 rounds has been the most for me.

2 months, for an assistant position, tests, onboarding process and more.

Was supposed to get hired early March 2020 but ended up lasting 6 months and 14 interviews.

4months

5 zoom calls within 1.5 weeks, which includes a final can for the official job offer. I was on a call daily. It was challenging but also extremely rewarding. I accepted the job and I’m very satisfied with the position so far!
