Feeling down. I've interviewed for probably 12 positions (mostly Senior Manager level), and always getting rejected. Is this normal? I do try and ask for feedback, and sometimes they give saying that there just isn't the right fit for your skillset at this time. If so, then why did you interview me? #frustrated

Are you really ready for SM? If yes, are you making it felt during the interview that you are?

For e.g.
- if you talk about the work more than you talk about the client, you’re still a doer and hence Manger.

- if you talk more about the deliverables thank you talk about the budgets, you’re still thinking costs, not profits and hence a manager

I’m not assuming anything here. Just highlighting what shouts out to me during interviews.

For a couple of interviews, I have made it to the final rounds. Majority, first rounds but still got in front of Partners or MDs. Any other info I can provide? Thanks.

What’s your yoe? What’s your yoe as manager?
Some may be biased but still interview you to see if you are an outlier. You need to show up as your best to change those minds.

Thank you. That is really helpful.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
