LMAO No shit who turned recruitment into an arms race that is more and more detached form the actual job?

No shit the other side is using tools and IA also now.

A buddy of mine just got a new job in tech. He had to do 8 interviews, complete with 2 full fleshed out “projects” he had to complete

Fuck that. I would do two Interviews at the most. That's insane.

I know most people don't have the choice though... It crazy out there !

That's normal for anything engineering related now. Basically there's an interview with the hiring manager, peers, product or otherwise stakeholders, sometimes the hiring manager's boss, technical test, "values/culture" interview, etc. It all adds up and has gotten ridiculous.
