Not insinuating that I'm a "fabulous" candidate (also totally possible that I am!), but I've been experiencing the opposite. The quickest offers I've received have had the most red flags.
The places I'd like to work seem to move slower and require more preparation. For instance Oxide has applicants put together a lot of written work and another company has a seemingly easy take-home project but which requires unfamiliar (to me) setup that I haven't had time to tackle. Then there are the faang-style interviews with loops scheduled perhaps weeks in the future.
I may send another round of applications soon, but I'm going to be more selective so I can manage the process better.
