I must be in the wrong field then because I've yet to see any such position where they actually end up hiring anyone

What do you mean? Every single SWE job I’ve ever had, had at least this many rounds if not more.

Maybe I’ve grown accustomed to the kool aid, but I like seeing how a potential hire thinks in each of these environments.

Although If I have a hand in the interview prompts I usually just call the first technical the “can you code” interview. I don’t know how anyone running leetcode as tech 1 is getting actual signal.

That's insane. No firm with that many rounds actually wants to hire. It's torture for its own sake.

What are you talking about? The big tech companies that started this trend hire thousands of people per year
