The modern tech hiring process in a nutshell. Companies expect you to perform like a circus animal through endless assessments and interviews, then act shocked when talent goes elsewhere.
Nothing triggers HR quite like a candidate who values their time and knows their worth. That blood-curdling scream is the sound of recruiters realizing they can't torture candidates with their six-week interview process anymore.
Remember kids: companies that respect you from the start are usually the ones worth working for. The rest just want to see how much abuse you'll tolerate before you're even hired.
