I started applying mid-December and (expected/would be a 🚩 if they did respond during the holidays) it was pretty quiet.

Even though I knew this rationally, I ended up casting a pretty wide net in case it was my book/things were just incredibly competitive.

It's January and the Calendlys are coming in hot and heavy.

How far do you typically go in the interview process before you tell the company it's probably not a good fit? I could use the practice, but don't want to waste anyone's time.

It’s not dating. Just go as far as you can and compare the offers. Unless already logistically it can’t work like location, or if you’d rather do freelance etc. (I’m going through the same thing myself).
