What's the most people (or number of rounds) you've ever gone through with your interviews? I just went through 15 people for a director-level role. I'm ready to hibernate!

You had an interview with 15 people? That’s abnormal! 1-3 people is standard...

I personally haven't had less than 5 for quite a while now. 🤷‍♂️

For director level that could be considered average.

It could also indicate that the company is not good at making decisions, or operates in a decision-by-committee environment, or does not trust the VP/hiring manager.

No harm in seeking to understand from your HR contact why the process includes 15 people.

I am about to hand in my notice at a job I am pretty secure in, to go to a job for a relatively new company (with a significant salary increase). Any tips for:

1. Getting over the nerves that are as a result of taking a risk (I am late 30's)
2. The guilt of leaving a role where I have an amazing working relationship with all my colleagues and my boss

Any tips would be appreciated as I am a mess of nerves!!
