It's not unusual for agencies to hit hurdles, and walls even, when it's time to pull the trigger. Left hand isn't talking to the right.

Wouldn't take it personally, though it's certainly rude AF on their part.

Flip the switch. The exact opposite happened to HR by a candidate I referred.. I got him an interview, he got the role, accepted/signed, even said he got a place (he was moving from east coast to west for this role.) The night before his first day, he emails his would-be supervisor (not even HR) saying: “turns out, not ready to make the move.”

My HR team just did this to a candidate I loved. Livid doesn’t begin to cover it. Are you secretly a project manager 🤣

(1/2) Hi all, based in the UK 🇬🇧, would appreciate your advice on how I could break into product management.

Context: Graduated in 2019 (Finance), 2 years at EY as a business consultant on mix of pmo projects and tech projects where I was developer (data vis, power platform, sql, vba, data analysis etc.). Joined Google on a 6 month contract as a data analyst.

Should I be applying for product analyst roles? Should I apply for strategy consulting? Could I go straight for prod mgmt roles?

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.
