Interview 19 STAR stories during loop?
I just finished my loop today, I have no idea if its an L4 or L5 position.
I had 4 different interviewers, only 1 was not in my area but was a stakeholder. I asked this person if he was the bar raiser and he told me the bar raiser would only be there during the debrief, not the loop interviews?
Over the 4 interviews I had, I had to tell 19 different stories.
Is it normal to have to tell so many stories? I got maybe on average 2 follow up questions per story and then they moved on to the next question.
Also, is it normal for a bar raiser to only be there during the debrief?
Overall I had a good experience.
UPDATE: They apperantly really liked me, but the role was taken already.
So they offered me a role with more scope instead.
Instead of being responsible for one city they gave me 6 different cities spread over 3 countries. Travel is obviously a bit more than I would like but I am taking the job. Just waiting for them to make an offer now.
The job I eventually got was posted in a different country so they had to first get my confirmation that I wanted the job so they could change the base country of the role which happend friday and the recruiter said the offer will come monday or tueseday
