      How many 7 step interviews have you had? Only took me 13 months to get a job.

        none but I had one case that went down to two folks and they went with the other guy. My one year will be in sept and this is already the second longest I have been unemployed but im not hoping to make a new record.

          None? My guy, you might be cooked. I had dozens of 7 step interviews over those 13 months. If you’re not meeting with the CEO for an individual contributor role, then are you really living!?

            I thought it was a big deal that I had met the ceos of the last two companies I worked for and never did previous to that. Granted one was in the bathroom.

                It blows my mind that 100k is not that much anymore. There was a time I would have thought I had really made it if I made that.

                    Im in the us and have a wife with a lot of medical issues. I figured out that if I make 80k I will be in the red. It boggles my mind but it is what it is.

              I believe he was being sarcastic, but I might be reading it wrong.

                  No, zero sarcasm. I’ve had executives of billion dollar companies present during my interviews multiple times. No fucking idea why. These where not “I’m a CEO of a 10 employee company” this was “I’m the CEO of a company with 10,000 employees.” This was twice but every other of the dozens I made it to the point of interviewing with a director or vice president of a fortune 500 company. Like, wtf is the deal now!?
