Got a reject immediately after talking to the hiring manager. I felt it went well, any idea on how to ask for feedback or should I not bother?

Move on. They might have finalized someone already and just on a courtesy they spoke to you. Market is strong you can find a new role within couple of weeks. Best wishes!

So true! Thank you for this 😊

Absolutely ask for feedback. They may not give it to you, but if they do, its abother opportunity to learn and grow

Sure! Thank you!

I’d say move on unless it was a dream company/role. I think part of the job hunt and interview experience is accepting that there are so many factors out of control and pieces of information you’ll never hear. This market is strong, find a company that is ready to accept and values you!

True! I haven’t even started interviewing for my dream company, just a bit bummed as to how I screwed up talking about myself 🤦🏽‍♀️

I disagree with those that say you should move on and don’t ask for feedback. Don’t you want to know if you have any blind spots? Or if it’s just the fact that another candidate is more competitive, wouldn’t that be good to know as well?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
