Does this actually work for people? My experience interviewing for software engineering roles is that it's a time consuming and tedious process. I can't imagine juggling a full time job while interviewing with more than one company at a time.

My one experience doing it has only involved one job change/interview/offer, so I'm not sure what the typical experience is.

After I grew dissatisfied with my first job out of college, partially because I'd just been there five years and wanted to try something else, partially for ethical reasons (the new owners were hosting fundraisers for Jenny McCarthy), I sent resumes to three companies, got a callback from one, did a phone screen, took a day off work for the interview, and then got the offer a few weeks later. Gave three weeks notice, took a month off, was at a new job about three months after I first decided to leave the old.

This is absolutely not a typical experience. In most cases, software companies are very hesitant to give you more than 3 weeks.
