It sucks to hear, but, a yes can become a no at any point without explanation. I wouldn’t waste your energy trying to read minds, if you asked for feedback and are still questioning it, chalk it up to the world being unfair and save yourself the turmoil, id move on.

^ bro WHAT is that company. Sounds like a wild place to work.

Keep applying. Never stop looking even if you think something looks like a solid yes. They made a decision and you might have dodged a bullet.

It’s an employers’ market and not all roles need to be filled immediately. Did you ask for feedback on why you didn’t receive the offer?

like

On the bright side, they were clearly interested in you long enough to see past the lack of experience to get you that far. They liked you and/or your craft. They thought you had promise.

When I got my rejection the feedback was like there were candidates with more competitive portfolios. It kinda broke my heart. I actually followed up and checked their LinkedIn to see the new joinee and her work was honestly not great, but.....she was way younger. I realized that it's not just portfolio but I am also fighting ageism here.

Never said ageism doesn’t exist. Just saying misogyny does, too.

But hey on the flip side. You started a new job. This is huge.

Shit I posted on the wrong thread above. Ignore. Just let it be.

I was let go during a layoff while the agency was hiring for the same position just different accounts / teams once. They said I could interview for that role if I wanted to. 🤓

do you want this job? if so, have you sent a thank you letter? not literally saying "thank you" but something along the lines of enjoying your conversations and that they are at the top of your list...

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout.

The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
