Four rounds of interviews and I’ve had to keep checking in on the recruiters the whole way. Last week I had the final. Sent a thank you into the ether- followed up today and got a response that asked for a call to touch base tomorrow. What do we think? It’s a senior role, so are phone rejections common?

Rejection as expected. I responded gracefully and now on to other opportunity

Good luck!

How else can they break neutral or bad news in a gentle way? If the CEO wanted to take you to dinner as the very last step in the process, they would be leaving voicemails.
Recruiting is almost as cruel as dating.

They are going to tell you nothing about why they hired an internal and strung you along

I hope I am wrong but this seems more likely a rejection. You will find something better !!

Um why are people being so dramatic? I’m thinking this could be fine

I remember once I finally contacted prospective new employer and said “ I fully understand timing of a hire. But either tell me you want me but timing isn’t right or that you don’t want me. It’s okay”

I ended up going somewhere else pretty quickly because I think they still ghosted me

Accepting outcome with grace is a solid response.

General rule of thumb, if you're chasing them for feedback you aren't the first choice, but they ate not ready to tell you no incase they don't get their first choice.

So how did it go?

Hi everyone. I am currently a CA student, working as a Taxation Executive in a manufacturing industry for the past 3 years. My profile includes handling of direct and indirect taxes in the company ranging from preparation of the working upto the entry of outstanding and payment in books. During this period I got an appraisal once citing reasons due to lockdown of a mere 20%. My current CTC is 3.5 lakhs and I'm planning to switch to another company. Can someone advise on the CTC i should ask for?

I can’t get over how meaningless my life is. I feel stuck in a dark tunnel with no light at the end. I don’t know what I’m doing in life. It’s overwhelming and makes me cry over every little thing. Is it too much to ask for me to just be happy in life? I’m 26 but I feel like this is all life has to offer.
