How much is RSM’s referral bonus?
I had an interview w/ the Hiring Manager at Boston Consulting Group for a position and it went so well that the HM said on the spot I was going to be moving onto the next round. Its been weeks since that interview & I've had to follow up w/ the recruiter 3x asking for an update. I mentioned interviewing elsewhere but prioritizing BCG. He finally responded to that saying he was going to debrief with the HM and get back to me but nothing... what gives?

Of course the recruiter is going to sugar coat even the most dysfunctional environment by saying it is growth oriented or dynamic, they are sales people at heart and you need to learn to read between the lines. Exit interviews are HRs way to gauge if you will a liability to the company after you leave, your feedback is not valued.
Exit interviews aren't there to change anything about the position, the company culture, or the hiring process. It is purely there for HR to make sure you aren't a liability. My advice is to just skip the exit interview in the future.

Oof, this hits. I once took a role where everyone seemed so aligned during interviews, but on day one I realized the team barely spoke to each other. It’s so tricky because you don’t want to seem overly skeptical during the process, but I wish I had asked more culture-specific scenarios, not just generic “vibe” questions.
