How much is too much?

Interview processes are killing productivity across the industry. The mental stress and unwanted financial problems in chasing "dream jobs" are literally killing people by thousand cuts.

Is there a way to tackle this silent killer process of interviews?
Maybe.

The ads for interview preparation portals as getting closer to deodorant ads. People are still buying the product. That will not change.

The million dollar question is do you want to be one of them?

Syntax expertise can only support growth in at most first five years of a career. Beyond the first promotion, the territory is becoming harder to quantify and hence navigate.

To overcome the noisy interview heavy learning, I have created a short course to highlight tasks from daily engineering that can benefit you whenever you decide to start searching for a job.The course is currently available as free.

The last mile of job search is a lost cause. But salvaging the remaining time to build a robust skill set is possible, maybe even easy.

The answer is always planning.

Please do check it out. Looking forward to hear your feedback!
