I just heard back from a job that I interviewed for a month ago saying they went with another applicant. Not even sure what the point is in getting back to me, but got me curious about how long it’s been for other people before you’ve heard back from a company.

A lot of these systems are completely automated. It's not even something to think about. If you don't hear back until a month later, just assume it's been rejected and move on.

I've gotten "dear john" letters as late as 3 months after I interviewed. As if I was still sitting around waiting. 🙄

I got a rejection letter SIX months after applying! Crazy stuff

I've heard back three months later after I have already forgotten I interviewed for the job. It is really annoying but I guess I appreciate them letting me know.

Yup, happened to me too! I'm not sure where they get their boldness to do that from but I guess recruiters are just as tired of the Great Migration the way we're tired of them

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
