I’m pretty sure I just got ghosted from an agency I really want to work at after 2 rounds of interviews. I’m now sad 😞

Or they like you but are waiting on financial approval and will circle back in like a month or two. That happens way too often, chin up!

if it makes you feel better I went through 9’ish rounds to get declined by the last person. It sucks.. but it pushed me to move past people that don’t share the same vision as you do. respect yourself. thank them, and move on to bigger and better things. 👍

Good work is not determined by the agency. It's up to you. Chin up and you can make great work anywhere.

hey, how much time are you waiting the answer!? Maybe is just slowness. If you have direct contact with the recruiter don’t hold yourself: ping him. Big agencies are slow, inefficient and bureaucratic.

Had the best interview of my life only to get ghosted for 2 months and then told I didn't get it. Ended up getting a way better job with more money and opps and said agency I interviewed with is struggling. Like others said, maybe it's for the best. Chin up.

Been interviewing w/ a company for 7 weeks and was very excited about the opportunity. Salary expectations were given upfront. Offer came in today (after weeks of “rebanding the role and shifting budgets to allow for higher salary) and total package (base, salary, benefits) are about 40K less than where I am at currently. Should I negotiate or is it too far off?

However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
