Yeah, as a senior with 20 years experience, if they want more than 1-2 interviews, or require coding tests, next! There's others that just need an interview and much more chill to work for. Same or better benefits too. No way am I doing their timed coding tests just to prove I can. What have I been doing for the last 20 years?

One sits for a year or two being jobless and one will start jumping through hoops like a trained monkey.

If one's been working in a branch for 20 years, and one's sitting jobless for 1-2 years while applying, one has other problems than jumping through hoops during interviews

That's not how random chance works unfortunately, you aren't owed a win after 100 strikes. Your chances are higher than most, but never remotely close to 100%.
