> It was exhausting and it meant that most of my lunch breaks were just interviews for multiple weeks. I had to start going into work very early so I could leave earlier to take calls at home. Making sure I was still meeting all of my commitments at work was a challenge, too, but I made sure to prioritize that over interviewing, rescheduling when necessary. I wouldn’t phone it in for the purposes of interviewing. It makes you look bad, it’s unethical, and if you don’t get a job, you’re now a lower performer.

I'm impressed with this person's ability to write a blog that BOTH:

— feeds people's curiosity via the current interview experience at several of the worlds biggest companies all in one read

— Incorporates (advertises) his own personal work ethic and credibility throughout, to where I would bet he's getting all sorts of significantly higher paying offers around the area.

The latter was likely the motivation to write it, which is great. I'm surprised more people with similar stories don't use their ultra-blog-worthy experience as an opportunity to humble brag and display their value. Might as well, right? Small risk/big reward
