Have received several rejections, yet nobody is willing to provide feedback or they go completely unresponsive. It’s incredibly frustrating, and hard for me to discern whether it’s competitiveness of the market or some shortfall in my interviewing skill. Any similar experiences or advice?

Until you have an offer in hand, you keep filling the pipeline and moving things forward. I've had lots of people ghost, just means the fit wasn't right, try not to dwell. I'm supposed to start a job on Monday (had 3 offers), and I'm still entertaining recruiters in case something falls through or just to have contacts for the future.

Use your network best you can, update your LinkedIn so recruiters have something to go on and turn on job alerts, focus on what your fit to the job market is (not shotgunning jobs you think you could do, but those your resume actually supports).

It's really going to depend on your resume tbh. I have a pretty straightforward, contiguous story that makes sense, and I think that goes a long way. Interview prep was almost all from big transformations I EM'd, people like hearing about $xxM portfolios.

In the end my pipeline was mostly incoming recruiters and network, 2 offers from network and 1 from recruiters. I withdrew from several processes as well, all network or recruiter. Cold applying was by far the worst, prob 3-5% conversion at best just for interview. Maybe 15-20 interviews total.

Same. Was even ghosted after 4 interviews, in which the hiring leader was the 3rd interview. Strange considering they moved me forward to meet a team member.

Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry. I am interested in exploring other opportunities as I know there are a lot out there, but is anyone else worried about the current economic state? I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?
