It’s been a while since I interviewed. I’m shocked by the amount of time the entire process takes!

What’s normal when it comes to interview timeline from the initial contact to the recruiter till offer? Here’s my experience:

Initial contact- week 1
First interview- week 3
Second interview- week 4
Third interview- week 4
Offer- week 5
Negotiations- week 6

End results? Over a month of back and forth trying to settle into a role. Between back and forths w recruiter, multiple interviews, etc!😱

sounds right. about a month between initial contact and an offer. It's actually quite good lol it can be way worse.

6 weeks is not bad at all. Really depends on the company structure, had senior leadership roles go from intro call to offer in 2 weeks with big 4 firm where interviewing partner was the decision maker, but that’s not typical. Typically it is about 10-12 weeks with endless rounds and decision by committee.

Would you want it much faster? Don't you need time to get to know the company / team and consider your options?

Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷
