I interviewed with Salesforce a month ago and right after the interview HM went on PTO. I followed up with the recruiter and they mentioned that they’re waiting on HM for the decision. I gave up on this opp but last week out of nowhere recruiter emails and asks if I accepted another opportunity and mentioned that HM is still interested in my candidacy but also interviewing other candidates. What should I make of this situation?

Why is the HM leading you on? Tell them you have a deadline and they’re your top interest to get them to speed up the process

If you are still interested, go ahead with it. Same thing happened to me (not with SalesForce). HM interviewed, told me they want to move forward but recruiter just keeps stalling. They are interviewing others basically and want to pick from a wider pool of candidates.

If you want them to speed up, talk to recruiter, ask them how many interviews you got to go through and give them a deadline and say you are expecting an offer soon.

That speed up my process and even get an offer letter the next day after my final interview.

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
