Anyone ever been in a hiring process that dragged for months, only for the company to say they’re not immediately hiring, yet?

Yes. They like to keep you hot and get a list of ppl when they know they will have more business but haven’t finalized all the parts. If it seems like a good fit might be worth waiting a little bit but don’t hold your breath.

It’s like dating. Keep your expectations low and if it happens, it happens. You do your part and if it’s reciprocated you can appreciate it the way it should be. If not, grieve for a day or so and get back on the saddle.

Here’s my perspective - as someone that manages a large team and P&L - there are often a lot of stars that need to align to hire, unfortunately. It could be any number of factors: clients waffling on signing off on a new project, margins not lining up with projections, staggering onboarding new team members, etc. At the end of the day, it’s not a reflection on you and, honestly, is probably equally as frustrating to the hiring team.

Thank you for your perspective! I do have to remember to not take it so personal.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter.

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
