How many interviews are too many? I've gone through three already, now they want to have a group interview next week. I’ve heard of people going through five or six interviews for one job. Have you ever dealt with that? How many interviews would it take for you to say Nope, not worth it?

I went through 6 technically with my current role. 1st with recruiter, 2nd office manager, 3rd admin supervisor, 4 and 5 with execs I'd be supporting and 6th was really just a vibe check with the rest of the admin team. Was it a lot? Absolutely. But this is the best and most supportive team I've ever worked with And I have no regrets. A lot of places I was interviewing with also had 4-5. Small companies were more like 2, maybe 3. One had 8 interviews and didn't even get an offer.

That is a lot, but sounds like it was well worth it!

I've heard crazy stories of people doing five or six interviews. I think it just means the hiring process is broken. Nobody wants to make a final decision, so the process gets kicked on to the next person. And on and on. Until someone finally has the authority and decides to make up their mind.

I think anything over four is, although I've been hearing a lot of 5+ interview stories as well. I have no interest in doing more than 4, but if I needed a job and they required more, I'd probably have to just suck it up and do it. It seems completely gratuitous, surely 4 is enough to know if someone is a good fit or not..

Once it gets past three interviews, I start to wonder if they’re serious about filling the role. A group interview on top of that? It might have to be my dream job for me to stick around past that point.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
