Just recently experienced this. Interviewed at a FAANG company, process started 5 months ago, about 50 emails exchanged, a dozen or so phone calls of various kinds. 6 interviews, they came back and asked to re-do 1 of them, which I obliged. Then, they were silent for about 2 weeks, I asked about the status and they said they want to re-do 2 more interviews. I kindly refused and they said they wouldn't move forward.

I'm working to solve job search. I think job search is fundamentally broken. It's a horribly fragmented and frustrating experience. It's a big ambition to challenge the incumbents in this space, but it needs to improve. Anyone with passion and abilities are welcome to join the endeavor.

I've been in tech for 15 years and am starting to become cynical. For me, I no longer want to work on what others want me to work on. I want to use my skills to do things that interest me and provides something back to society. Find something that engages you and checks all of your boxes.

I've seen most people fall into one of two categories: 1. Live to work 2. Work to live

A lot of my friends who are in the "work to live" category find joy in their hobbies. I fall along the first, so without hobbies, I put everything into work. If it's not fulfilling, I get bored and want to move onto something new. Do some soul searching and rediscover your passions and interests.
