Did you mean "on avg 10 a [month]" ? 230 over a 23-year career doesn't seem like all that many.

Maybe not heaps, but consider you won't hire at entry-level, and unless you beeline straight into management you're unlikely to be conducting anywhere near 10 a month, ever.

That doesn't agree with my (somewhat limited) experience at all. I don't know if my experience is atypical or yours is, though.

I interviewed more people than that per year while I worked at Google, and I'm doing even more now that I'm at a smaller company.

[shawndumas]

As a software engineer you are doing more than two interviews a week on avg?

[grrowl]

I've worked at small places, where we might only hire 5 people a year; and larger places which were large enough to leave it to the leads (engineer-managers overseeing 20 working engineers)
