Interviewed for two companies and accepted the offer from company A. Company B was moving way slower so A’s offer deadline was approaching and I chose that one. Now I told company B I will have to decline further interviews as I have decided to pursue a diff opportunity. In response they asked where was I going, how do I politely say no? Why are they asking?

Just be respectful for your own sake and keep in mind that they would ghost you if the situation was the other way around.

Don’t respond

Just ghost. I was like 10 interviews deep with a company when I accepted my current role and just told the others that I was no longer in the market. They specifically asked if it was because they were taking too long but I just never replied after thanking them for considering me.

Follow up etiquette help needed! I am expecting a job offer at firm one next week or so. I am into the final phases at firm two. Would it be appropriate to email my recruiter from firm one that they are my preference but I’m far along in the process at firm two and ask for an update on where I stand (to hopefully get an offer faster)? Thanks!

I have applied to several positions up Google. I have not heard anything back at all. No matter if I customize my résumé to the job description I still don’t hear anything back.

Do people on Google believe it is appropriate for the recruiters just a ghost people especially if they feel they don’t match the job?

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
