Has anyone been called for an interview weeks after submitting their online application? I feel like if I don’t hear back within a few days of the application my resume is lost in a sea of others and I ultimately end up getting a generic rejection email

I got a call for an interview 3 months after. Given this was due to Covid. But it’s not unheard of. I will say based on my experience, it helps to apply within 48 hours of the job posting date.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
