ML engineer with 10+ years experience, took voluntary break in Sep, started interviewing in Nov, interviewed at 6 companies to land 2 offers.

Most companies have been having hacker-rank pre-screen coding, Hiring Manager Technical screen, System Design, Product round, Behavioral round, ML specific round.

While it's not been hard to land interviews, the process is taking a long time and it looks like people are looking for previous experience in the specific stack they work on. Offers are also lower from a year ago.
