I didn’t even have an interview yet (scheduled though) and the recruiter sent me an email “thank you for speaking with us XXX, we’ve decided to move forward with another candidate”. WTF?

They probably found the fit they were looking for and didn’t want to waste your time. I’m sorry, OP

The recruiter probably already spoke with you on the screen call and didn’t think they wanted to move forward. Don’t blame them

Yeah, sometimes it’s not you. I’m interviewing someone for R1 tomorrow, but 2 internal folks want the role and are also doing final rounds tomorrow.

How likely do you think it’ll be that the external person gets it?

Personally, I would ignore the people on here who are making assumptions that you're no longer in consideration. I would either call or email the recruiter and ask if it's a error on their end. Idk why this is such a novel concept on here sometimes.

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.

All -
I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
