Feeling confused: I interviewed for a position at a large well-know firm, 6 rounds of interviews (Final with Director), then they called to negotiate salary and said they would like to make me an offer, 2 weeks of silence, now I get an email saying they want me to do an additional interview with an associate consultant at the company.... are they buying time? What’s going on? I’ve already talked to the director

Have you talked to the recruiter directly? My initial reaction is that they may have changed the job recruitments in some way (for example, the project need changed or the client need changed). Or it's possible that someone new onboarded at the company and they need their approval to hire (ie: you would be on their team).

I had this happen to me when they changed a contract consultant role to a Director role. Wanted to bring me.back in to talk to the EVP since I would be reporting to him instead of reporting to the SD as a contractor.

I talked to the recruiter directly, it just seems like they have now switched to following the Google pool process (whether intentional or not).

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment.

I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?

Hi fishes 😊
Anyone interviewed recently for a PM position at Adobe or just works there? I had the 2nd round and I know the next will involve me presenting a business case to a panel of 5.

1. Any idea of what the business case can be?
2. What is their general outlook on parental leave? In the 2nd round I basically told them that I am pregnant and willgo on mat leave in March. I wonder if I will be dismissed just because of this or I still have a chance...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
