Anyone else fell for 3 rounds of interviews + panel pitch presentation for 1000heads and getting ghosted afterwards? Are they even actually hiring?

This is common. I've been ghosted mid interview because they gave it to an internal candidate.

I've been to many last rounds just to get rejected. Exhausting.

I am starting to hold a grudge against employers who are poor at communicating expectations. Not writing back after an interview is sickening.

They don't owe you anything. There was probably something that edged you out e.g. another candidate, qualifications/experience, eq/interview protocol, or they weren't hiring at all, etc.

I've been to interviews where companies seemed proud about their hiring standards (low % make it through certain stages, difficulty, etc.)

Some companies told me I was the only one to make it to the end. I even got tours of the facilities. Still rejected.

Other companies are "always hiring" to make it seem they are a growing and successful company.

A few are low key sleezy and ask you to come up with ideas so they get free advice/information.

Whatever the reason, keep your head up.

Use the experience to improve EQ and presentability.

I went 8 rounds with an agency several years ago and got ghosted for “cultural fit.”

I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
