This happens in so many companies. I hope you hold onto your worth despite them passing over your talent. More success to come for you.

The truth is, you never know who is “better” or “worse” than you. You can’t see into the mind of the recruiter, and you don’t know what they were evaluating you based on. It’s better just to move on than to dwell on who is “better” or “worse” because you don’t even know what they were measuring

Good pov and truth but I also challenge all Recruiters and hiring managers to be more transparent and clear when writing job descriptions. Maybe Include soft skill, culture & EQ expectations. If not in writing than for sure in the conversations, discuss what is desired so both are on equal ground to make the most informed decision if an opportunity is a good fit or not.

I have experienced this multiple times, but then again I just think to mysekf that maybe the job wasnt for me and I'm better off somewhere else. There are so many doors still open for me

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
