Help me out here. I had what I would consider a very good interview with a senior person. Very nice person, things really clicked. The call ended where he said he would reach out the HR person to set up the next call with the owner. He continued to encourage me to email if I had any other questions. That was a week and a half ago. Never heard from HR. Sent him a follow up email thanking him and saying that I was looking forward to the call with the owner. No response. Am I being ghosted?

Have you received the “thanks for your time, but we are going in a different direction’” email yet?

I am sorry this happened. It probably has little to do with you and more to do with internal swirl and many, many candidates. Perhaps you could try emailing again with a short note just to inquire status, if the position has already been filled or if there is still a possibility as you were so interested. That would be easy enough for your contact to respond without being too committal on next steps. Good luck.

Probably. You need to move on and if they hit you up down the road, great.

You didn't get the job. Keep interviewing. Move on.

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.
