Interesting read but I (and I think many others) would be more interested in reading about how one manages to land 60 interviews, at all, in the current job market. You must have either a stellar resume, incredible experience, access to a huge network, or a combination of the above.

Are we in the same job market? It might be geographically related. I get bothered non stop by recruiters (And I'm not special, just a humble software dev)

“The current job market” - tech stocks and revenue is exploding, is the job market difficult currently?

I've anecdotally heard from former colleagues that it's gotten tougher to find entry-level or mid-level positions, not sure how broadly that applies, though.

I suppose my comment lacked a bit of nuance, as I understand the author may be in a different sector and certainly different geographic location.

Where I live (and the areas I am able/willing to transfer to), the job market has proven quite difficult. But, it could also be that my resume isn't to par, or a lack of effective networking, or both. That's why I'd be interested in seeing the perspective from someone who is obviously having success landing interviews.

My biggest annoyance is late interviewers who then try to rush you through a question. I’ve had multiple interviews in the past where they are around 10 min late when you’ve taken time from your day and they barely acknowledge it, then clearly rush for time. I guarantee they also write down in many cases that they didn’t get enough data points, not noting that a big part of that is their own time management problem (not to mention many of these places won’t get back to you for a month+, but that’s a different issue)
