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.

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

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)
