Same, I've started just stating I have a maximum of 3 interviews I do before I auto-reject the offer.
This has had interesting results.
I'd like to know more about the interesting results you've gotten if you don't mind sharing.
Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)
In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn't like the job)
I'm full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they're not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.
Wow, that's a way better reception than I would have expected!
What kind of interesting?
I bet it's like when Peter stops giving a shit in Office Space.
