I have a fourth round of interviews for this job I’m in consideration for this morning. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m quietly hoping it goes well because the team seems very nice and it seems like it would be a complete 180 from the toxic environment I left last year. A recruiter reached out to me to begin with so that’s promising, right?

It still blows my mind there are whole industries where people do that much interviewing. I would be somewhat less than thrilled to be expected to take that much time off my current job to do unpaid BS for another employer.

I’ll admit I was a little taken aback when the recruiter called to schedule this interview (I was told upfront there would be a phone screen, an interview with the manager, and then a panel interview), especially since it’s for a creative role. Luckily I’m freelancing right now so I can make my own schedule, but I am hoping this is the last interview and it’s just formality at this point to get to know the team. It does feel like a lot, though!

It took about 5 interviews for my current job (most were over the phone though, so I'm not sure if that detracts since I didn't have to take time off for them).

Each interview was actually me just getting to talk to each of the people who would be on my team. This is the best job I've ever had in my life.

More than two rounds blows my mind. That feels like a whole lot of indecision. Best of luck on your interview and good ju-ju coming your way that it works out!

It's different people each time at least! But yes I am hoping for good news this week, thank you!
