At what point do y’all feel you’re being strung along in the interview process without a chance of moving forward?
I haven’t been ghosted yet, but I'm stuck in a perpetual “No feedback yet…” state.

I usually get that feeling the moment the interview starts.

Every f’ing week as soon as a recruiter reaches out or responds.

Sounds like they’re waiting on their first choice most likely. Also not uncommon that maybe the role is shifting and may need a more senior position or none at all.

What level are you interviewing for? Ghosting or being strung along happens a lot more when you’re junior imo

Mid-level 😤

Please help! I’m a CRC who manages Investigator- led clinical research projects and I want to transition to a PM role in industry (I would slightly prefer not a PM role in clinical trials since I don’t have clinical trial experience.) I’ve applied to PM roles at many biotech companies (e.g. Charles River, ICON, Paraxel) but only got 1 interview which didn’t work out. Which companies should I look to for an entry level PM role? Any good startups to consider? Anyone have any insight or advice?
