I recently interviewed for a Snr Sales Strategy & Insights Mgr role at Cisco. IMO, this is the most unprofessional process I v bn in. The process took 4+ months. Hiring mgr put role on hold for 3 wks. Had to push recruiter/mgr for feedback after every interview 1 month gaps. All my interviewers (ex MBB) gave excellent feedback & recruiter. After my last push 1 month after 3rd intv, was told the role had been filled. IMO, the hiring mgr doesnt want me cos I am black. Hence the intentional delay.

I think it can also be due to the cooling down down of the job market from white hot to , medium warm, and the economic concerns since early this year.

That sounds like a rotten experience.

I'm having a similar experience for a role I've been under consideration/interviewed for multiple times over four months. The MDs have been great, however, HR is all over the place and only provide next steps after I reach out to them. And, the saga continues with no end in sight. At this point, I've mentally moved on from them being a truly viable opportunity.

It seems with the uncertain economy and current budget season, hiring decisions are impacted/delayed and communications are poor.

I hope your next application process is much smoother and professional.

Ugh. That sounds like a very trying go of it. Your words resonate with me, and I can only offer a sympathetic ear and hope for a better outcome with future opportunities. The job hunt is miserable and people are often unkind and oblivious to their actions. I’m glad at least one person (and a senior exec) saw your value. All the best!

Why are you applying to a senior manager position if you're a partner now?

I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
