I was interviewing for a firm and didn’t pass 2nd round. However, HR on the email mentioned asked if I’d like to hear feedback from the interview. I said yes, and they would like set up time to speak to me over the phone on this.

Does this mean anything?

This is the first time this has happened to me (typically I’d just receive a rejection letter wishing me good luck etc.). It almost gave me the impression that they are at least somewhat invested in me, or want to keep the door open.

Mck did the same after I didn’t pass the final round. Called me to give feedback and told me to reapply in a year

that's kinda cool lol I interviewed for like 500 total jobs in my life and none offered feedback

Wow never happened

Very cool, wish more employers did this.

Definitely take the feedback

You should be so lucky to get feedback. Take notes and learn from it! Good luck!

That’s awesome. I would absolutely take the opportunity to receive feedback.

Don’t just take the feedback, actively engage in the discussion. Listen, then Share your own insights on where you think you lacked. Create a small strategy on what you will do to improve (include networking) and then tell them you’re excited to get in touch when the next hiring round begins. So don’t even treat this like goodbye consider it a see you soon.
