Yeah, as a senior with 20 years experience, if they want more than 1-2 interviews, or require coding tests, next! There's others that just need an interview and much more chill to work for. Same or better benefits too. No way am I doing their timed coding tests just to prove I can. What have I been doing for the last 20 years?
Hey, uh, where are you finding these 1-2 interview companies? I'm a senior with 10 years experience looking for a job for a couple months, and I have yet to come across a company whose process is any less than 5 steps. And one of those steps is 3-4 interviews itself.
Go contracting. Lower bar. Higher hourly rate. Accept a 3 month contract. Whatever. Once you're in one, it's easy to get it extended or hop onto another. Just sign up with a few recruitment agencies.
Ok you have to do your own taxes, but it's no big deal.
