An executive I was interviewing with told me that regardless of how the interview process goes, I will have a remarkable career. How would you interpret that? Is it a positive indicator or a nice way of wishing me well?

It’s definitely a compliment, but further implications from that.. I’m not sure. Sometimes people get awkward in interviews and say things that are completely unnecessary. If an interviewer told me that, I wouldn’t take it as a secret message, I’d think they were just being honest. They don’t know the other interviewer’s feedback until a debrief is scheduled, so at the moment, there’s no way to tell how the process is going to conclude for you, but they do know you did an amazing job and impressed them so much that they wanted to let you know in real time. That’s pretty awesome

I agree with this

When he said “regardless of how the interview goes “ I would say “watch out.” He might be tearing you off.

Hi! I'd take this in a positive note. I think you did well.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too.

At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
