I applied for a customer success role at a software company and they asked me to do a multi step assessment before even scheduling an interview. Is this normal now? Some of these hiring processes feel longer and more complicated than the actual jobs being advertised. Like it was Junior/Mid level

Yes what you’re experiencing is now the norm from homework assignments, assessments, presentations etc it’s horrible the things employers are trying to put people thru. Of course you have the option to back out and not bother especially since you haven’t even interviewed. You can access if that’s something you want to do becuaee it’s not going to guarantee anything and it’s reflective of the culture coming in. I e been asked to do up to 5 rounds and a presentation and that to me is too much and to long of a process.

@Engineering Consultant 1 Not when they have 500 other people applying for the same role. You complain, you're out. It's an employer's market, they can do whatever they want.

It depends.

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?
