God, I hate job hunting. Every time I think I’ve nailed the interview process and will get the job, it doesn’t happen. For example, after FOUR rounds of interviews, for a job I would be perfect for, I was told I was the top choice for the position. However, it’s now been more than two weeks of radio silence. I’ve followed up twice, but still nothing. At what point do you just move on and accept you’ve been ghosted? Is sending one or two more emails desperate, or is it just persistence?

Trust me, this is happening to many of
us. So sorry it’s happening to you. The radio silence is 100% inexcusable.

Do not email again. You’ll lose all negotiating power if they get off their ass and respond. Keep moving.

I went through a brutal process at a well known tech company recently. Several weeks of interviews, culminating with a full day of hour long interviews.

Got an email telling me “Congrats, you got the job!” BUT unfortunately hiring has been put on hold so “we’re in a bit of a waiting pattern.”

That was three months ago.

I would follow up again. The job is too bad not to try everything. Good luck!

It's wild how acceptable it's become. I had a company reach out to interview me, scheduled interview on Monday, they asked to reschedule the following day - and crickets. I followed up with additional times and heard nothing. Like... you reached out to ME. C'mon.
