Has anyone ever gotten to a third round interview to be told the position isn’t needed anymore but to hang on to see if something else comes up?

“We decided to fill the position from within.” Heard that a dozen times. As if it just suddenly dawned on them that there was someone ALREADY WORKING THERE who was better (cheaper?) for the role.

Sad part is, it didn't just dawn on them, they were using the outside candidates for salary leverage.

Yep. They decided to promote internally and told me theyd reach out if anything else came up. Something else eventually did come up, they reached out and i accepted. Now working here

No, but have been ghosted after 4 rounds (which included a presentation round), so feel for you.

Happened to me. They decided to hire from inside the company after 4 rounds which included the CCO and drinks with my partner to be. The most painful part was that it was for my dream job out of school. Still a bit salty about it.

Would you take a paycut / same salary you were making to move from NYC to Philadelphia, if the role was an industry opportunity in the tech/product space and more aligned with your interests and career goals?

Always read about people moving to industry for 20%+ increases with RSUs, but the offer for my move is about the same I'm making now in NYC. Think I will take it anyway but curious to hear the consensus view.
