6 interviews? Super excessive. You can always reach out to the hiring manager directly if you’re that keen. What’s your YOE?

Two weeks is definitely a while after completing all interviews. If you have already followed up with the recruiter, perhaps it’s a good idea to follow up with the hiring manager. Although, I personally wouldn’t. To me, unless the recruiter is sick in hospital, this behavior shows a serious cultural problem at the company.

smart

Did you send any thank you notes? Reach out to one of the interviewers

Yup! Sent follow ups and nada

If it’s my biotech, I’ll reach out to the recruiter if you want

Nothing you should do. If they reach out and proceed further, then great. Otherwise, this firm is not worth working for and you avoided a potential landmine.

Update: the recruiter emailed me this morning asking me my availability to set up a calL. I immediately let him know and he never called or responded...

Haha, well at least they got back. Give em a day or two considering how long it took them to get back this time around

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

When interviewing, do you initiate follow up with the recruiter or wait for them to reach out. I always follow up with a thank you directly to the interviewer, but I’ve waited for the recruiter to connect with me on next steps. (I haven’t interviewed in 8+ years.)
