I made it to a final round and then lost the role to an internal candidate, which apparently everyone already knew was a possibility. I understand it happens, but why bring in outside people for multiple interviews if the odds were always low? Does anyone else feel like half the process is decided before it starts?

From my understanding, sometimes it's a company requirement to interview X number of people before making the decision. So a lot of those interviews end up being a formality and aren't actually meant to fill the job. Which to me feels very disrespectful of everybody who is just collateral damage in an inefficient process.

Most companies have to allow others to apply both external and internal, to seem "fair." I know it comes into play with what I do. Knowing someone who is in that department can get you a larger opening into that department. Referrals are always encourage, I'm thinking it's more or less bc they feel that most people, especially those with longevity the company are not going to put their name on the line for someone who is not going to work or stay with the company.

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
