Six rounds of interviews for a $75K role? A take-home assignment that's suspiciously identical to their actual Q3 project? A "culture fit coffee" that somehow turns into round seven? If your job search has been making you feel like you're losing your mind, here's the truth nobody at these companies will tell you: it's not you. It's them.

This week, Lauren goes scorched earth on the hiring manager industrial complex, why so many interview processes have ballooned out of control, the five red flags that prove a hiring manager doesn't know what they're doing, and the new rule you need to start enforcing on your own job search.

In this episode:

• The 5 signs your hiring manager has no idea what they want
• Why "I'll know when I meet the right person" is not a hiring strategy
• One listener's 7-round nightmare (and how it ended)
• A copy-paste email script for when they spring "just one more round" on you
• The Three-Round Rule — your new ceiling on interview loops
