This is a coin with "all" sides. There will come a time when you have too much experience. Your pay for that education, level of experience and skill set will be a threat to the ladder. The interview process also now includes: testing at home for 2-3 hours, youtube style videos answering questions they pose to you in written format, skype or face time interviews, telephone interviews by multiple parties and then follow-up in person interviews in different offices/locations with different people -- and of course, several hours worth of conflict review paperwork to review and sign NOT including anything related to the 1-2 hours worth of coverage paperwork should they decide to make you an offer at all (which could take 3-4 weeks) resulting in possibly nothing but a simple "at will" employment offer -- which means, after all that, they owe you nothing, not even a reason, to give you the "pink slip". The industrial age is dead.
