You're probably not good at interviewing. That's pretty normal especially if you don't job hop frequently. The good part is you're not being resume screened.

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. Worst case scenario you can spend time intensively prepping for interviews. :shrug:

>You're probably not good at interviewing.

It does seem to be the common factor. Then again the industrialized interview processes some companies (some of which have since had bulk layoffs) suggests another possibility.

I hate having to develop interviewing as a skill. I'd rather develop my development skills.

I agree. Give companies struggle to evaluate engineers during their employment over a period of months (if not years), I'm not surprised an interview doesn't tell you much about an engineer either.
