Not every company is urgently looking to fill a role. It might be more acceptable for them to wait for a candidate who is a better fit, than to hire someone they're not thrilled about, and increase the costly risk of it not working out.
Managers keeping their budget alive.
Similar to what social media did with dating, it also created the delusion in managers that the perfect candidate is out there.
It's pretty annoying how the article is quite both-sides-ism about the whole thing. Four months to receive an offer? Come on. You get the vast majority of the signal for a candidate in the interview process itself. All of the backoffice deliberations don't require months of meetings. It's just more okay that it gets dragged out because the market is lousy. Call it what it is: indecision and inefficiency.
I’m also pretty certain they learned more about me through that than through leetcode-style problems that are in ChatGPT’s training set.
A variant: government of canada/province jobs that re-post your job every season; requiring you to fully re-apply and re-interview over and over with your boss while they endlessly try to replace you, no matter how well you did. Until you get promoted or they find somebody they like better and you have to move 500+ km to get a different position I honestly think amazons stack ranking is less humiliating and skeezy
Stack ranking is the first HR thing that agile development practices warn against. It discourages teamwork.

Maybe he's on the extreme side, but it's definitely better than not doing anything, like the rest of us.
This is basically public service work.

That's what I thought too--is the poster being sarcastic?
I guess I did need that /s. I thought I was being sufficiently over the top but I guess I wasn't. I hate multiple interviews. The best interviews I've had were a single 45 minute interview.

Dude it was your source. Take the L and don't cite sources you haven't read going forward.
Please don't make personal attacks like that on this forum, it's against the rules. So is claiming someone didn't read a source when you disagree with their interpretation. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
I don't know why you're still typing, you're not convincing anybody, you're not getting any karma, and nobody is gonna respect you more for refusing to acknowledge how blatantly wrong you are. The best you can do here is admit (to yourself) you screwed up and that you have a lot of trouble admitting when you're wrong, and then working on that character flaw -- your life will go a lot smoother.
