Is it just me or do interviews have so many more rounds than they used to? I had a recruiter call yesterday where they said there were 7 rounds of interviews for a non-manager operations role. In my opinion all it does is weed people out that are not as skilled at interviewing and makes people that are good at interviewing get the role.

It's a waste of time.
Someone may interview amazingly well, however once that mask slips in a stressful situation, that candidate that looked great on paper but didn't 'gel with the interviewer' is out looking for a job elsewhere.
Someone may interview well, have the right skillset but a PAID work trial with probation is the best way to know.

Yes, I agree so many more steps all for them to tell you they have chosen to move forward with another candidate 😤

7 rounds is insane! I’d feel so anxious going into a job like that if they need THAT much time to check im the right fit. The job I’m in now, I only had 1 interview.

The FAANG companies started this trend and everyone followed. HR is self perpetuating itself by causing a problem increasing HR can only solve.

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?

I'm working at a startup where I feel like I've spent as much time trying to deal with product issues vs working on roadmap items. I get this is bound to happen in a start up but is this common? I'm not sure what to do. It seems like no one really thought about the architecture or ux as much as they should have in my opinion. I need some advice.
