40 interviews over 2 weeks? What are you applying for? And where?

Principal SWE positions, down to Staff+ in some cases, salary band $220-$280, remote only. Focus on healthcare, but several other verticals are included as well.

I've not been on the open market for about five years now, and all I hear is how difficult it is to land a position these days - so I'm hitting it hard from day one.
