> When she gets interviewed, they fly her out and spend 2 days showing her around, taking her out, and trying to convince her to work for them.
This exact scenario has happened around a half dozen times for me as a software engineer over the past twenty years. Basically any time I’m considering a company based in another US state, they fly me out for interviews, at least take me to dinner (if not some larger group outing), and then have someone show me around the city the next day trying to convince me to move there.
I’ve flown out or drove long distance for many software developer interviews and I’ve never had anyone “show me around” the city. Although they’re usually fine providing an extra hotel night so I have time to do so myself. Sadly it feels like post pandemic the on-site interview (at least for software engineers) may be a thing of the past.
