I've heard there is a resurgence of in-person interviews even for remote roles. Have you experienced that? Would you travel for an interview even if the job was remote?

That's an interesting question. I've heard that companies are concerned about meeting people they hire for remote jobs just to make sure they're a real person. Which seems weird, but that's the AI era for you. I suppose if I wanted a job I'd show up and establish my existence, though traveling a long distance for an interview might not make a lot of sense.

I traveled once for an interview, before Zoom and Teams were around and the alternative was phone. When they wanted me back for a second interview I asked them to pay for my hotel room (I lived four hours away.) They did, and I got the job, plus moving expenses, which was rare for my role.

I feel that I generally perform better in in-person interviews, and I’m very comfortable with them. While it may seem a bit unnecessary for a fully remote role, I would still be happy to do so.

Me too. I'm a good interviewer so either way is fine with me, but you get the benefit of more body language in person.

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
