Maybe I misunderstood but are you saying that companies have these lengthy interview procedures to filter out smart/capable/non-desperate candidates?

Sounds a bit counterproductive

Depends on your goals.

A lot of places are looking for unambitious, mediocre, status-quo following bodies to fill seats and follow arcane bureaucratic processes. Too much critical thinking is bad. Ability to deal with long drawn out bullshit is good.

I love working in tech because it’s so cushy and chill but it’s the most stupid (and delusional) industry i ever worked in.
