Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)

I'm sorry you're feeling discouraged, but seven job interviews in just two months is actually pretty good! You should at least feel proud of that. A lot of people aren't getting nearly that much. It is hard when they make you think that you have a shot and then they ghost or go with another candidate or, worst of all, don't even seem to have the job available to hire for. All we can do is just keep going, though; you got this!
I’m trying to remind myself that getting to the interview stage is still a sign I’m qualified. But yeah, I’ve had more than one company suddenly hit the brakes, and it leaves me questioning everything. You're not overreacting, this is a tough time to be job hunting.
If you're getting that many interviews you're definitely coming across as a strong candidate. These things always come down to a competition, and only one person gets to edge out everyone else. So, it's not easy. And with all the uncertainty in the economy, a lot of companies are pumping the brakes on any hiring. All you can do is hang in and keep trying, just convince yourself that in the next interview you're going to be a the top of your game and you'll edge out everyone else.
I am sorry to hear you are going though that. I have several friends that were laid off about six months ago and have been on the job hunt ever since so I can tell the job market is rough. I would recommend asking friend and family if they know of anyone hiring. That is how I got the role I am in now was through a neighbor of mine. You never know who might know of something you could do.
