Interview process these days is like: a technical screening, a 15-hour take-home assignment, a presentation, a case interview, another technical screening (with a mini case), a live coding session, a few behavioral interviews. Oh guess what, just when you were given a clear interview process/flow by the recruiter, some firms just spontaneously add online test or data challenge in the middle of the process. I know what you are wondering - the answer is No, I’m not applying for the God position.

I do think companies are taking an advantage of the pool of candidates available in the market and going over board with rounds of interview and things that we have to jump through to get the job. Who has time for it when the hiring process drag on and for months?

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
