A recruiter first reached out to me on Dec 13 2023 (my birthday!) and I accepted an offer on Feb 22, so just over 2 months in total including a break for the holidays. The process included a few screenings that were scheduled one at a time, then a "virtual onsite" where 3 interviews were scheduled over a shorter period. After this, there was one more interview to further discuss my work experience I was provided with an interview guide with expectations for each interview, which was very helpful. There were still 2 surprises: 1. The system design interview was focused on creating a detailed design in a small scope instead of a high-level design for a large system. 2. The values/behavioral interview was less "tell me about a time when you..." and more "what was the best/worst part about this job from your work history?" Once I was done with interviews, I was asked for 3 references and in parallel we started offer negotiation. I met with the recruiter to come to a verbal agreement on the details, then I received the written offer letter a day or two later. We had a bit of back and forth on the details, then I signed!
