Is the second-round interview going to be shorter in duration?

The duration of a second-round interview can vary depending on several factors, such as the company’s interview structure, the role you’re applying for, and the number of interviews you’ve already had. Generally, second-round interviews are a chance for employers to dive deeper into your abilities and fit for the company, often involving more technical or in-depth questions compared to the first round. They may also include meetings with different team members or managers. Because of this, they can sometimes be longer than first-round interviews; however, some companies may conduct shorter interviews if they are focusing only on specific areas or if they have already covered much of the foundational information in the first round. It’s best to clarify with the company or recruiter to understand the expected duration and format of your specific second-round interview.
