2 weeks back I had panel interview at Apple. Last week I followed up with the recruiter and she said they finally decision is not made yet and hiring team requested additional time to review.
I think the panel round went well. Don’t think I made a major mistake. Answered most of the questions. 6 out of 7 panel rounds I felt positive at the end. 1 went okay. What should I make of this ? Am I a backup up candidate ? Will really appreciate some feedback.

You can imagine a company like Apple gets thousands of applicants. They are interviewing many others. It's good to be positive but don't put all your eggs in that basket. Keep applying and interviewing for other roles.

You can never tell. Just try to follow up. I once had an interview that went really well. By the end they were talking salary. They wanted me to come back to look over the place again and meet the team and I spent time with lots of people. Something must have gone wrong, because I could never find out what happened, but I was out. I finally reached the HR guy who sheepishly told me they decided to look for another candidate (and there was none yet). That was 1989. I'm glad. My life would have been completely different if I had gotten that job.

You can’t make anything of it at all. You can have answered perfectly but maybe so did several others. 7 rounds means you’re clearly qualified so now it’s a numbers game

Keep applying at other companies. If they call you from Apple it will be a good thing but if not you still need to find your next role.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

Hello everybody,

Could you please recommend companies with Internships in Front or Back End Development?

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
