I applied for a job a few weeks ago and went through the interview process with some heads of the company. In spite of this, the company continues to provide me with assurances that a decision has not been made and they will inform me as soon as one there is one.

The problem: The company posted another job -albeit with less qualifications and experience necessary- in which I am also interested in applying for. What do you think is going on in the company and what should I do for next steps?

Mostly echoing what A1 said. If they can't get it together enough to make a decision, it's probably best to set your hopes elsewhere. I once had a firm reach out to me nearly three months after my last interview to offer me the job. As if I hadn't been looking at other places in the meantime.

I might call this an “orange” flag instead of a red one. My thoughts are you shouldn’t apply for the second position and you should continue to apply for other jobs at other places. Companies are notorious for dragging out the hiring process and as a result losing great candidates in favor of finding the “perfect” person. In my experience if they can’t make a decision or provide a substantive update within 2 weeks of your final interview it may reflect greater issues.

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?
