True, dxuh. I'm in Asia, I won't get many replies from companies outside my country, for sure. So I can't afford to get picky.

and perhaps industry/domain. Though these days it feels like all parts of tech are extending the interview process. It was already too long to begin with but it feels like every person in the company needs to slowly schedule an hour to talk every week for 3 months straight before considering you as a candidate.

Yeah, I think that's a very valid point. I've worked half my career in the US and the other half in Northern Europe.
