Interviewed with Strategy& and was told that they’re having more returning interns than they expected and that they’d reach out to me months later before making a offer. Is that just a weird reject?

They are just being honest bro.

Yeah the returning interns excuse sounds like BS. I think they are concerned the pipeline won’t support the staffing level. I would think that they won’t be willing to give you an offer until they settle returning intern numbers and analyze if there’s still a need.

like

Do you think this is sort of a red flag of the company?

How do they already know how many returning interns they’ll have? Internships don’t end for another month and they are usually given some time to ponder a returning offer after internship ends.

Good question. I remember they were in a heavy rush to interview me back in April/May.

It’s cause they have historical data on what acceptance rates are and they’re probably giving out more offers than anticipated

Unlikely they are lying to you. What incentive would they have to do that? Most likely they i. Like you and ii. Have rolling hiring targets and iii. Have more returning interns than they had planned for

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
