What’s the longest an interview process has ever taken you? I’ve been going back and forth with a company I’m really hoping to work with for the past three months and at this point it’s driving me crazy. Is this unheard of and excessive or does it happen sometimes?

I totally feel your frustration. Unfortunatley this is sometimes just how long the process takes. It sounds maybe a bit excessive to me, but that can totally depend on the role you're looking at and how organized the other companies hiring process is. Hoping for a quick replay for your sake!

For senior-level roles, this is pretty common.

Just went 9 plus weeks for a VP level individual contributor role. With the ability to virtual video interview the days of having a candidate come into town and interview all day seem long gone. But conversely the process can take forever

It happens. It's also why firms get ghosted halfway through the interview process. Don't make them your only option.

Not my experience, but a new vp is joining my team tomorrow. I first interviewed him in early November

The longest process for me was 4-5 months

Longest was 4 months and it was internal

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
