I understand this bowl is for Exit Opportunities but I’ve been seeing great career advice in general ... In March I interviewed for a VP level role with a well known global agency, I met the entire executive suite virtually . I haven’t heard anything since then, on LinkedIn I see they have posted the role public...is this a clear sign that they are not interested in me as a contender? It’s not worth following up, right?

Typically, I would say not worth. But considering this was right around when the pandemic hit, it is possible that they had a hiring freeze or something, wouldn’t hurt to ask!

Always worth following up. What is there to lose?

If you haven't had any communication with them in 6 months, then I wouldn't get your hopes up. But it only takes a few minutes to follow-up.

I would send an email today. Then if nothing, follow-up with a call on Wed (bc of the holiday weekend). Then if no response, final email follow up on Mon.

At least then you have closure.

I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

Hello! I’m new here and looking for positions in talent management specifically as a Talent Business Partner or HR Business Partner. Open to relocating but more interested in remote positions or local in Washington DC or Northern Virginia. I have a master’s degree in I/O psychology, SHRM-CP and 7+ years of talent management experience. If anyone is hiring, please let me know!

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
