How long ago was that?

It's very different right now. Every team is starved for headcount. Job openings don't grow on trees these days — not even in FAANG-land.

You got a good point, but let me clarify a bit: my hire back was within 4 months so I didn't consume any HC since my position was not backfilled yet.

Which I do think applies to this case, esp with ones say starting next Monday, their old position is probably not backfilled yet and why not hire someone who already knew the job.

AFAIK, most FANNG companies still have some sort of 6 month to a year hire back no interview policy.

Some places have suspended backfill.

However, hiring is still tough.
