I talked to 12 people during 7 one hour sessions. This means I had to repeat my background 7 times. Besides being existing, it's hard to stay motivated. Simple math says that I spent almost two hours, just giving an overview of my experience. My other question is what's the point of taking to this many people. They were from across the organization, each with a different idea of what this position is. Shouldn't just be the hiring manager, one or two technical people and the hiring managers boss ? Complete waste of time.
