Complete silence for ten days. Then suddenly they asked for a second round. It’s hard not to read into that gap even though I know hiring moves strangely. Do people treat long pauses as normal now or usually as a sign you were not the first choice?

We've got very different definitions of what a long pause is. 10 days is on the short end in this market. That doesn't even mean you're not a first choice, it means they're doing their due diligence.

Not impossible, but I find it unlikely they moved forward with another candidate to the point of you now being the backup with that timeline. If you feel good about it, don’t read that much into it and continue.

That’s totally normal! Could be average or short turnaround for some companies. Good luck!

I have learned that hiring timelines can be unpredictable. Silence does not always mean rejection. Sometimes it reflects internal delays or competing priorities rather than your candidacy.

As long as they've asked you, I wouldn't be too fussed! You'll never know the scenario or what made them go for someone else first.

Question on switching from provider side to brand/client side…
I’ve been on the “solution provider side” to brands CPG/retail insights and innovation teams, largely in account management (sales) for B2B syndicated database/SaaS providers.
I’m looking to break into an insights/innovation-type role on the client side.
Any suggestions on addressing perceived experience gap because I’ve always been on the pricier side? Are industry certifications helpful on a CV?
Lots of questions, TIA!

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
