I was interviewing with a company for several months and went through 7 interviews. I was told I was a top candidate and I would hear back, never did. Job just posted again. Is it ok to follow up?

Usually a sign of not having their shit together internally. Possibly even restructuring or instability, which you don’t want to get caught up in.

If you really want to check in, do it without asking about the job directly. Send the hiring manager and/or recruiter an article about something related to the job/client/something you talked about when you last met. Make it friendly like you read this and it reminded you of xyz from your conversation and thought they’d find it interesting. Basically, start the conversation and see if they finish it. You won’t come off as desperate.

This is all weird advice. You don’t know what happened, so there’s no harm in checking in the status of the job. Totally sucks that you were ghosted, but it’s not always just because people are assholes. I got ghosted for a year then was hired at a much, much higher role. We both had time to grow.

Yes follow up. Don’t make any assumptions.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
