Interviewed for a job last week. Was the third round of interviews, and each interviewer liked me and went 15+ minutes longer than alloted. My past experience almost perfectly aligns with the new role requirements.
Stressed the frick out because there were 119 applicants on LinkedIn alone. Final interviewer said they have several more candidates, but they are hiring multiple people for this role.
Someone convince me I'm getting this job. Perfect opportunity and a chance to go back to remote work. The number of applicants is crazy, does anyone know if they are inflated or bots? Will hear back by tomorrow at the earliest and next week most likely.

90-95% of people applying to a job are functionally r-slurred. You're only ever competing against a handful of people that might be competent.

Interviewer is r-slurred too tho so it's a dice roll at the end of the day.

I'm not stressed about competing, I'm dreading being #3 of 119 and they hire two people. That would fricking suck

Linked applicants is meaningless, its just a count of people who clicked the link

Really? Thank God I had no idea. That makes sense then when I've seen jobs with 500+ applications

3 rounds of interviews is wild, I hope they pay well to put up with that. I walked out on an application after the company wanted to come back for a 4th round.

Is it weird? Interview with screening/HR, interview with PM and then director? Seems normal

A lot of the young work force are a bunch of whiny, entitled, asocial r-slurs. As long as you are a hard worker, team player, good communicator, and not an r-slur (though you post here
) you have a massive leg up on the rest.
You got this far, know they are hiring multiple people, and have the job experience. You got this, king

Its the people who worry about if they get it or not that never get hired in my experience.
Even if you have no idea what your talking about 90% of the time being confident, friendly and charismatic works.

Thanks for the confidence
I know how to interview and sound confident, I'm not an idiot. I'm just concerned they hire a bunch of people directly from the industry and not adjacent to it like I am.

Lifes about failure and coming back from it.
Dont expected or count on any one job/thing. If it comes back you didnt get the job use that energy to apply to 2 more.
You got this, if you dont get this job youll find something better if you keep your chin up!

Being adjacent can be a plus if they are looking for diversity of thought and different perspectives

They're just fricking with you.
They're about to invite you for round 4 because of 'steep competition' for the job.
It's a social experiment to see how many rounds of interviews people will show up for.

No point in stressing about it. You can't do anything but wait for now

Anything more than phone interview + in person interview is probably not a place you want to work at, but hey congrats if you end up getting the job. If you don't then you avoided a few years of getting blackpilled by an inefficient bureaucracy that has specialized into extracting value at the expense of generating it as you slowly realize everyone in this world is not only dumber than you thought, they also care a lot fricking less

Rather than worrying about the number of other applicants you should take confidence from the fact that all these people have applied and you've stood out enough already to be interviewed over most of them. Especially with how easy it is to find roles online now a good job can get a crazy number of applications, one apprenticeship I interviewed for years ago had literally thousands of people applying
