Had a preliminary call with recruiters for a smaller VC fund. This was more than 2 weeks ago and when I followed-up the recruiters said they are still waiting for feedback.
Should I just assume they’re not interested and move on? Really wanted this tho :(

Ah yes sorry it highly means they’re probably considering other candidates over you. But stringing you along in the case the others back out. Had a recruiter do this to me for 2 weeks and it ended up a month later they rejected and told me they chose another candidate. Keep applying!

Does anyone have Recommendations on how to get up to speed/good questions to ask during the phone screen?

Hey, another question for y’all. How should I reach out to a recruiter who offered me a full time position but I rejected for a better offer? At the time I was offered the position my main concern was lack of guidance/support from leadership. Now, a year later I have experience being in a role with limited over site (not as scary as I initially thought it would be) and feel confident I would excel in the role I rejected. How would you approach this situation? Thanks in advance!!

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
