Had a final round interview call with the CEO of a Series A startup scheduled for today. Yesterday he pushed it back by an hour but no showed today at the new time. Reached out to the recruiter and crickets. Common?

Yes. He’s also the board chairman

Honestly yeah - series A can be such a hot mess and the CEO is likely the product manager, engineer, sales, recruiter and responsible for raising funds.

Probably had to put out a fire and HR is probably trying to reschedule.

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for the job change in ServiceNow profile and having a experience of 4+ yrs.

Currently I am trying to create network in linked in and naukari but still not getting the response from some companies like JP Morgan or mindtree etc.

Can u help me to understand what is the best way to create a network to some major companies.

I know applying directly to the company site mostly doesn't have any benefit or will take long time to schedule the interview.

Has anyone gone through multiple interviews and not even been given a “thanks for applying but we went another way” or a reply to a follow up email after 3 weeks? I get it means I didn’t get it, but just seems weird to be completely blacked out unless they will don’t have any update for me? Lol
