30 plus years in the industrial sales industry, I enjoy the selling cycle, along with competitive nature that comes with winning the deal. I would think that working hard would gain respect for a promotion but today's work environment is more about playing the game. I respect people who are genuine with a proven track record.

This right here. I have 20 years similar to your background. Companies seem to have lost respect for strong independent critical thinkers. I believe customers still respect integrity and buy from those they trust.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
