I was hoping to get an offer since the referral came from high up but instead got a rejection due to hiring freeze. Recruiter said team loved me. Was it really hiring freeze or that I didn’t do well in interviews and it’s just an awk way to reject me?

Anything I can do to salvage this situation? I reached back out to the interviewer and my referral

The hiring freeze is very real at least from what I'm seeing and hearing so far. I would try not to take it too personally, since the weather is changing fast and many people are getting caught out. You'll find something!

Take their word for it, I am not surprised there are hiring freezes right now. You have to move on and maybe one day they will reach back out.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
