In a ethical/decent world what is the recruiting/hiring process like?

I was in photo school until 2022 & upon graduation i started freelancing/working under an independent photographer. Other than internships i dont have experience working under a company with a consistent salary. Prior to what seems like hell (2024) - what is the typical process for hiring/ recruiting + interviewing process? I guess ethically what is it supposed to look like? I just need to compare my experiences to something

Too many variables. Are they trying to build a team yesterday? Then could be two weeks all in (happened to me). Do you know the hiring manager, could be a single phone call (happened to a family member). Do they have no deadline or, really, any actual role to fill? Could be four rounds spread out over months and an automated kbye email after everything (me again, several times).

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
