Has anyone had this experience before?

Have you ever felt like you were one persona during interviews but after accepting an offer, the vibe was a complete let down so then you're like a different person than who you "sold" in interviews?

Yes. But it isn't you! You were sold a dream and you reacted to the excitement of that. You're not a different person just the same one experiencing different emotions.

uplifting

Absolutely! I was thinking maybe it's because I just adapt to the vibes wherever. I don't think I can sustain the same hyperaware energy I used during the interview into the workplace.

I haven't noticed but if the vibes weren't as I expected then I don't think I would be happy about it, I'll just try to survive the workday.

Nah, I do my best to show up as my authentic self so folks don't get the wrong idea of me. I also need thecompany to be a good culture fit for me

What questions do you ask about their culture? How do you know if it's a fit? I struggle with this bc in interviews, they make it sound so nice, but then when a part of the team, it's the opposite. Maybe just badluck

Yeah, it has happened to me a couple of times. Once they sell you the work environment, it's like all the positives go away at that exact moment you sign your contract.

funny

🥴🥲 are you in a better place now? What kind of questions do you ask to make sure they're not putting up a front before signing the offer? Or that they're not just trying to fill the role ASAP for the sake of ASAP

& then you feel like a fraud or you spiral down thinking there's something wrong with you

Thread: I’ve been talking to this company for months and the recruiter has been in and out with communication. A few weeks ago, he reached out, apologized for the delay and explained they needed to figure out role priorities but that they’re moving forward, I’m a top candidate, & they wanted to wrap up interviews and extend an offer the following week. He never reached out to set up interviews and hasn’t replied to any of my calls or emails.
