Had a great interview with the ECD of a cool agency, he wanted me to go back after a week to meet other people, Now he doesn’t reply. Why is it so hard just to say “I am sorry we can’t hire you”?

He got pulled into a 24/7 pitch. Reach back out to the individual who set up your meeting in the first place. ECDs do not do calendars

ECDs answer emails? Of any kind? Since when? I thought they’re all too good for that

Because maybe he can hire you, but just doesnt want to.

Maybe he wanted to see how you’d deal with adversary and see if you’d come onto Fishbowl to see if you talked shit about him

Maybe a week to wait isn't that long especially considering the Thanksgiving holiday. And maybe you need to cool your jets and trust in the process and he'll do what he says.

Maybe it was your clear desperation. Also curious, what is a "cool" agency?

That doesn’t make sense, ACD 1

Either he’s not seeing your emails, or he found someone he thinks is better. In either case...do you still wanna work for em? Follow up once more and leave it be.

He likes someone equally as qualified but has one little thing over you, and is waiting for that guy to say no first before getting back to you. As you can see, he can keep you on speed dial by not responding to you.

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.
