Why Tech Job Interviews Became Such a Nightmare

The tech industry is experiencing a cultural and maturation shift in its hiring practices, as companies are adjusting to high interest rates and shareholder pressure to improve efficiency. Over 400,000 tech jobs have been lost since the start of 2022, leading companies to become more stringent in their hiring processes. Some job candidates are reporting excessive test assignments and interviews, which can deter strong candidates and introduce biases. Meta has been accused of using aggressive salary negotiation tactics and down-leveling engineering candidates during the hiring process. Experts suggest that companies should question the trend of tougher assessments and consider more effective and inclusive interviewing practices.
