Was interviewing few people past two months - why do interviewing candidates take months? Hiring manager, technical interviews, HR, Directors - why does selecting candidates take so long that even before hiring they are lost to competitor, or is it just me

One thing I've noticed is HR moves quicker when candidate tells them they're actively interviewing and have offers/close to getting offers. I've seen people apply to their first choice but don't hear back for a long time. By the time company reaches out, the person has already accepted some other job at another company who were willing to expedite their process.

Must say one friend recently did the same and Deloitte took him vs PWC.

VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.

So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?

AT&T: HBO-MAX is probably top 3 stream platforms along with netflix and disney plus. Despite this AT&T trades at a super low multiple. Is this the next glow-up a la Disney this past month? I think so. They've already got an extensive library and have consistently over 20 years delivered the best shows on TV, period. I understand that the core AT&T business may seem like a "liability" to the valuation but I still think that their valuation doesn't make sense. What am I missing?
