In the middle of interview process of 2 agencies and both have been ghosting me since late last week. Is it because of Coronavirus? At least say something 😞

Same thing is happening to me. My guess is hiring is the last thing on most companies minds right now. I’d send an email, and then ride it out. I’m sure it’s Coronavirus related.

My bet would be, yes, it’s coronavirus related. At my agency and I imagine a lot of others, HR are pretty key to implementing things like work from home and plans in place for the business to still run ok. I can imagine that interviews are on hold while everyone figures out contingency planning. So many people here are in their own worlds about not not being able to work at home but don’t think they realize the other areas of the business it impacts! Hang in there, good luck, and definitely recommend getting in touch with them to check in. Priorities are fucked right now!

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative? I know plenty of smart account people, strategists, data analysts etc. who would almost certainly make more money and enjoy more autonomy in a different field, or at least in-house.
