When I was applying for a job about 3 years ago, I scheduled six phone screens from different companies in one day. They all led to invitations for in person interviews, and all four in person interviews I ended up doing led to “40 hour a week, six figure jobs”. I’m no special snowflake - except for my network of local recruiters.

Why would I go through the song and dance? The salary ranges for senior developers/architects were all around $20K of each other. Unless the company is offering salaries in the 80th percentile, why would I jump through hoops just to work on a company’s software as a service CRUD app?

My last job hunt, I found the job that met all of my criteria (salary, technology, commute distance, size of company) within two weeks of looking.
