This is a very, *very* good point. I can't upvote it enough. Oh wait, this
is email, I can't upvote anything. But you get my point.
The best jobs I ever had were after hours of grueling, tough, sweat
inducing interviews. I had offer letters with more money and more
prestigious companies waiting for my signature, but I thought the
interviews they gave me were pretty lame and too easy. It sounds nice at
first, but when you think about it, do you really want to work with people
who went through interviews that were so obviously easy or would you rather
go with the company that stumped you on on a few questions but with the
assurance that everyone you'll work with will have successfully survived a
similar process?
I have never regretted my decision to go with the latter.
As a side note, I just want to mention that this is a public forum and

Another good point, and a good motivation to NBAD ("Never Be A D*") on the
Internet.
