Had 3 rounds of interviews for a job that starts in January. So i checked in with the recruiter and now she wants to schedule a “call” next week. What does that mean? Would they tell me I’m not getting an offer?

It really depends on the company culture but since this role was in January she might wants to tell you that this role is somehow on hold or has been filled internally and if she is very good then she might recommend you for another role with her or different recruiters.

This is odd. I've never heard of a recruiter responding to an email with a request to call usually they will say what they have to say in the email. Could be a good sign. If you weren't a good candidate I don't think she would waste her time with a call.

Yeah and i finished all rounds of the interview process a month ago and reached out to her via email and she called me immediately &she said she was “waiting on approvals” and that conversation was a month ago…i just don’t know why it’s taking soo long..the company is Accenture btw

My advice would be to ask the recruiter what it is they would like to speak to you about on the call. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be able to give you the answer.
It’s your prerogative to push back and qualify - please don’t be passive and managed by the recruiter ( I used to be one by the way) . It will make for a much more productive and open relationship

It depends on the company. Some companies do and some don't. she could also be calling to let you know that the position has been put on hold due to a hiring freeze. It could be about a million different things.

I feel like when it's a call, it's because it's usually good news and they want to go over the offer with you adn get your take. Hope it works out for you OP!

Hmm. That's odd. Maybe she needs to tell you about an important and urgent matter.

What happened? I think they are going to ask for more info or turn you down but i could be wrong.

Didn’t turn me down but they’re still in the process of finalizing candidates…so basically no news

Guys I’d appreciate your perspectives on this: how big of an asshole am I for staying in the interview process for a few interesting opportunities despite having received an offer from one of my top choices (80% chance will accept). I’m a first year recruiting for summer 2021 internships FYI.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity. However, I've had A LOT of recruiters reach out to me for positions that are way below my current salary. They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
