I quit today :)
Hi fishes,
I am planning a switch so was going through some salary data for a software engineer. My ex-senior manager recommended me a website: Growceed.com which helped me a lot in getting clarification about a lot of things but I am in doubt whether the average salaries of software engineer mentioned on Growceed.com really that much in top MNC companies.

YES! It’s the epitome of unprofessionalism and rudeness in my mind and shows a lot about a company....am I just getting old and this is “cool?”

For real. I mean how many final round candidates are there and what’s hard about a mostly boilerplate rejection letter anyways.. better than nothing.
Met with hundreds of recruiters both big and small across 10 years and probably 5 came through for me.
Serious question: how many days need to pass to fairly call it “ghosting”? By no mean am I trying to downplay your situation, I personally think much longer than 24 hours is poor form, but I’m old (Gen X). I feel ghosted a lot too, but I’d love to know when my feeling is generally considered legit.
PS - I hope the people who ghost you get a raging STD!
No totally fair question honestly I’d say like 3 days if there’s no commitment to communication and 24 hours if there is.
I mean in this example the hiring manager was essentially like “you’re perfect for this role and here are the next people you’ll meet with and here are some pro tips to impressing them cause I really want to work together”
And the recruiter said “amazing this sounds so great I’ll reach out by tomorrow with next steps”
Two weeks after no response I got an automated response email from their recruiting service saying “thank you but we’re proceeding with other candidates”
