Yes I’ll second this. I’ve been through interviews recently and, given the current climate, it’s pretty gruelling compared to this time last year.

Most of them had 3 stages and a technical task that was expected to be your best work ever.

You’re not alone in feeling this way so just stick at it until the right role comes along. Read, study and improve in the meantime while you prepare for each interview. You’ll come out the other end a stronger engineer.

I’ll say that I‘ve dipped my toes recently as well, and sense it might be a real buyers market.

I also could just suck. Like all things, the answer is probably some combination.
