Hi does anyone have experience interviewing for a job but not getting it and yet managed to keep in touch with the hiring manager and getting a job after? Just wondering if there are examples out there. What are some tips to staying connected to the hiring manager or keeping yourself on top of their minds etc.? Thanks!

I was offered a job at a lower title than the role I interviewed for, kindly turned them down but asked to keep the dialogue open with the hiring mgr on an informal basis. We connected on LinkedIn and about a month later, they offered the job at the original title I'd interviewed for. If I were you I'd suggest keeping in touch over LinkedIn and perhaps posting relevant content to get noticed. Or perhaps reach out directly if you have significant updates.

Hi! I really appreciate your reply! How did you maintain contact with the manager during the month leading up to the offer? What made them offer again? Thank you :)

Just asked for a follow-up call via recruiter and also connected on LinkedIn. Tbh I have no idea the rationale behind their choice.

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company. I am expecting an offer this week, but the salary isn't quite where I want it to be. A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits
