I agree. If it's between two companies that pay "competitive rates," and one company wants me to interview for an hour and one company wants me to interview for a day, I'm not going to waste a day.

If you were paying 2x rates or real equity, ya I'd slog through a day long interview, but I bet you aren't.

What does your company have to offer that would compel me to spend 8 hours interviewing that another company doesn't?

You need to charge more if you get two competitors for you.

Maybe they'll be only one company willing to pay then, maybe that will be the one with the one day interview :D
