If a company is really hiring and paying market rate, what's the situation leading to positions open for over a year? Unicorn-hunting?
I've been part of a hiring process that took a couple months (and by the end had management breathing down our necks to just hire -someone-), but that was because we were hiring into an out-of-the-way location that generally lacked the skills locally that we were looking for. Neither of which would apply to FAANG.
