Honestly? The job search + interview process is way too painful. I feel like I'm a good problem solver, I've made really good impact at the jobs I've been at but landing jobs is difficult for me. I tend to stick around til the job is more painful than interviewing.

Agree here. The standard practice of structured interviews is just no fun for me, although I see why it works for many companies.

Did you do any research on the companies beforehand or had a set of criteria to ensure that the job won't turn out painful next time?

Had a similar experience especially as I age and moved farther from the "Big city" where the cool jobs are and I refuse to commute that far
