Currently 1) actively applying, interviewing and preparing for product cases, 2) have a full workload (+ 1 of my team members is on a long PTO), and 3) keep getting pulled into proposals. I have ZERO motivation to help on the proposals but can’t avoid them or push them off 😔

Why can’t you blow off the proposals? If you’re going to leave anyway, I’m assuming promotion isn’t a factor. I’ve been telling people who ask for extra stuff that unfortunately I don’t have bandwidth to take it on

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews. Very frustrating and feel like they wasted my time in the end. Just a shambolic interview process in which I felt like a placeholder till they found who they really wanted.

After the initial interview with a recruiter, how long does it usually take to hear back about next steps and talking to the hiring manager? When is a good time to follow up?

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you. I’ll explain: I’ve been interviewing with Company A for a month now and have met with GC, CFO, creatives, and today the final round with HR and CEO. I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....
