Okay, I’m now a believer, interview fatigue is real. Over the last two weeks, I have completed 27 individual interviews. And that doesn’t count the time I spend reviewing resumes, researching, and contacting these candidates. So, that’s 27 plus hours I wasn’t leading or supporting my team. How are we expected to spend this much time finding the perfect candidate while managing our teams?

You're really taking the whole find the perfect candidate super seriously. I've never spent this much time trying to fill one position

I'm sure you have interview somebody more than qualified. At this point you are your own enemy pick one of these people I know they weren't all trash you let them through on the resume come on now stop making your job harder than what it is

There is no such thing as a perfect candidate, first of all. Secondly, and equally important, something is seriously broken with your hiring approach if you interviewed 27 people for one role.

I am assuming this is your first time hiring someone yourself, or maybe you are still new to the interviewing and hiring process. Because interviewing more than 27 people for one role seems excessive. You are probably make this process a lot more stressful for yourself than is really needs to be. I hope you are at least pretty close to making a decision lol.

If you're the final round interviewer, you shouldn't be interviewing this much. Partner with your recruiter and interview team to stack rank the best 8 and meet the finalists.

I get the frustration, but I’d rather spend extra time upfront than deal with the cost of a bad hire later. Yeah, 27 interviews is a lot (maybe verging on too many), but building the right team pays off long-term. It’s exhausting, but investing in the right fit now saves way more headaches down the line.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?
