Is it me or is it feel like companies are ghosting candidates? I have had a few companies contact me to set up intervies but don't get a response about when and where. Also the amount of supposed companies hiring aren't even looking at applications. It's getting really ridiculous.

I swear, ghosting is the new trend in American business. I don't know how it became so common, but you hear about it all the time. I've heard of people doing multiple interviews with companies and then just never hearing back from them. It's bizarrely rude, but that kind of rudeness has become ordinary.

I had a phone call like that and never received the promised email with details of the interview. It made me feel somewhat rejected but I figure I dodged a bullet there. Good luck with your job search. You can try calling them back for feedback. I couldn’t be bothered because I’m worth backing myself, their loss.

Hey all, transitioned from the military last spring and got a UX product manager position at a bank.

Pay is good, but missing the mission aspect of work. Have interview offers from Microsoft and Amazon for cleared PM work, but most of them are less product manager work and more adjacent program work.

This might just be grass is greener thinking, but would love to hear if you have made the transition if you enjoy cleared PM work or do you wish you stayed in the non-cleared space?
