What do you mean by “finance didn’t approve the position”? The position is pre-approved by it being open, but it sounds like you asked for more than the pay range?
Ran out of characters to fully explain. That was the Hiring Managers response after I followed up regarding a decision. I never even got to a salary conversation. Position got pushed out to Q1 through my interview process. Basically I got hung out to dry during the whole process. Believe they continued to interview me although the position was removed unbeknownst to me
When you feel you have hit a ceiling internally, you have hit a ceiling. Look for a job elsewhere at a higher level.
Finance has been on the chopping block for a few years now because they duplicate work that is outsourced for cheaper. Hope you never got that position and if you did, best be actively looking in a panic.
Sounds like they are heading into a hiring freeze. Most companies are now
In the same exact boat and actually looking for same positions as well
