Do recruiters actually tell you if your out of the running for a job? I’ve interviewed with 2 different companies had my screening interview and it’s been crickets since. How should I approach following up?

Why would they? Oftentimes they have a priority list of who they’re trying to hire. Why would they tell choice #2 that they’re out of the running when that’s who they’ll need to turn to if choice #1 doesn’t accept the offer? Some places obviously do things better than others and they find a way to keep things moving for all the top choices instead of just focusing on one or two people and keeping the rest on ice.

Safer to say that they won’t let you know. If I don’t hear back in 2 weeks, I assume they’ve moved on. Always follow up in a week. That doesn’t hurt.

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize

Interviewing for a product designer IC job at Meta, I was told by the recruiters that final panel would be 2 ICs and 1 manager. My schedule has 3 managers, no ICs and no other functions. I asked - told it was just due to scheduling constraints. I think managers just naturally have more experience and more stringent standards (generally). Is this worth asking to set up the more standard panel for me even if it takes longer to schedule? Or is this a non-issue? Just want an equitable experience

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?

Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
