Finished my final interview with a senior VP. It went well overall until I asked about the next steps.
The interviewer responded that he’ll have to interview other candidates and wished me luck no matter if I ended up working for their organization or not. He added that once the final interviews are over the debrief will happen before the final decision is made. He encouraged me connect with him on LinkedIn.
Not sure how to receive this so asking for suggestions.

Sounds like a generic wrap up/in closing speech, try not to dissect it or make assumptions, you never know until you get a offer or that dreadful thanks but no thanks email. Hang in there!

He’s not interested. I hope you come back and prove me wrong, but when they used that line as their escape, you’re not first on the list.

Thank you! Been interviewing for the past 5 months only to lose opportunities in the final round. Also, this interview was the 9th round and I feel like breaking down.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Nine rounds of interviews sounds like they don’t have their act together, in my opinion.

Definitely continue to look elsewhere.

Unfortunately, it doesn't mean anything. Actions are louder than words. If he wants to hire you, they'll reach out. Connect with him on linkedIn but move on to the next opportunity.

Do connect with him on Linkedin, even if you do not get this job he maybe able to help you get the interview for another job in the organization

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
