Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process.

Hi, I recently applied to a salesforce company and was selected for an interview. I had interviews with a recruiter, department manager and hiring manager and did well in them all. My final interview was with the CEO which lasted for about 10 minutes. He said he has read the notes from the previous interviews and the recruiter will get in touch with you. What are the chances I do not get this job given that I did well in all 3 interviews leading to the final interview with the CEO?

Joined a company months ago in a new industry and was told to own the company enterprise roadmap. It’s a new pillar for the company (of 4). Since I’m new and lack industry experience, is it a fair ask that my boss or their boss should be able to articulate the vision for that? Or set objectives/goals? They reply with just “you own the roadmap” and quite frankly I feel like they don’t know what they’re doing (they both don’t have domain expertise either). Am I being set up for failure?
