Is it normal for an interview process (in industry) to go on for 2+ months. Have interviewed with three C-Suite execs, 2 Director levels, and recruiter still says there are more people to meet....

That's out of the ordinary. Think you might want to let that one go - that's a lot of your time to spend when already employed full time. Pretty inconsiderate to your schedule

If it’s for a SM position, it’s probably just a problem with their internal decision making . It’s unlikely to change for you. If you really are interested, you can press for a decision, but it’s probably better to tell the recruiter you’re withdrawing from their trashmonkey process.

Agree with A1, is this for executive level position? Why so many people? Maybe management have problems with decision making, major red flag

Trashmonkey is a fantastic term. Never heard it before. I'm stealing it.

Actually this is for a Senior Manager position. Any idea how I can tell the recruiter know that this is getting too much and they need to make a decision...

On the other hand, I have withdrawn from processes that were taking too long because I realized that was symptomatic of a larger problem that they didn’t know how to run a business, nor would they respect me in my role

What level position?

This seems very out of the ordinary. I spent most of my career in industry and even for exec jobs never met with more than 4 - 5 people and most of the time they will coordinate them into the same several hour long time slot to be respectful of your time

Wait till you start working and need to get anything done - 50 people will need to approve

Really depends on how badly you want the job. Personally if I really wanted it I’d just bite the bullet and suck it up

I’m accustomed to keeping my students’ IEP folders in my classroom & being held responsible for their safekeeping. Now in a new district, I found that the Case Manager keeps all district IEPs in her office. We have to submit our updates & progress notes to her. And we have to make a planning period appointment with her to come look at any IEP folders. How does your district deal with IEP folder custody?

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)
