Had a great meeting with a director about an open role, everything seemed well, two days later ask about interviews, "sorry the role has been filled". :(

I honestly think sometimes when you don't get a role (even if it seems perfect!) it's fate. Something better will come along!

You never know...a role may open in the future and it will be something better that he/she considers you for. You never know what is going on behind the scenes.

Thanks guys. I think the bit that stings is that my coffee with this guy lasted way longer than I expected it would have, and I was mostly excited about the prospect of working for someone who I get along with well...

Everything happens for a reason. Sounds like the role already was filled, maybe just awaiting confirmation. The enthusiasm towards you was probably genuine. This happened to me recently and shortly thereafter everyone started leaving the firm that didn't hire me - I'm so thankful they didn't. Think they made an internal hire instead. Btw the role I'm in now is one I was originally turned down for.

MS1, that's great. How soon after they rejected you did they reach out, and did they share the reason?

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

If you do two years as an analyst at one bank is it possible to lateral into an associate position at another, or would you be an analyst again? Not at a good enough platform to get into the type of Buyside roles I want. Unsure of next steps.
