Hey!
Everyone says, “If you’re getting interviews, you’re close to landing a job.” I’ve been getting 2–3 interviews a week for the past month, sometimes even making it to the final round. No feedback, no updates. Just ghosted.

It’s honestly so frustrating. I believe employment should be fair and accessible, but the way candidates are treated sometimes feels anything but.

I’m trying hard, but it’s starting to take a toll. It’s making me question my worth, and I hate that feeling.

I'm in a similar boat. It's now been almost 2 months since I was made redundant, and I think I've applied for 50 roles in that time, I feel like I'm collecting recruiters contacts like a pokemon trainer, had multiple calls and in person interviews for a myriad of roles, and some I'm getting ghosted, some getting knocked back for not having the right experience or certs, and getting knocked back for others because I'm too experienced and they're worried ill jump ship in a year.

Fun times. I hope you have better luck in the near future than I have had.

only 2 months. Myself and many others have been looking for almost 7 months. There is something seriously wrong with the process at the moment. in my career I have nver experienced a market like this and the treatment of candidates is outrageous! In my case I truly believe its ageism.

Started at a big firm in July with high hopes- in the career path I wanted and I would be joining with other new grads.
After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete. Today, I received an invite for a coffee chat with a consultant. I’m of course going to do both, but the emails make it seem like they are almost two separate paths/disconnected processes. Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?
