Is it normal to be ghosted after interviews? I’ve had three recently and not one callback.

Normal? Not really. Common? Yes, a lot sadly. Some recruiters don't reach back to let you know if they chose another candidate that clicks better with the company

Yes. Some recruiters ghost candidates if they are not chosen for two main reasons. First, they don't know how to communicate something like that, and second, they don't want to burn the bridge with you if the candidate they chose in the end doesn't meet expectations and they want to change him/her.

Just judging by what my job-hunting friends say, it seems to be a growing problem. Everyone is "looking" because they are short staffed yet no one seems to be actually hiring.

Unfortunately, that's pretty much standard treatment nowadays. I always make a point to send a "thank you for the interview" card in the mail the next day, that way it reminds them I'm an actual person and ups my chances of getting some response at least. Even then, though, a lot of times I don't hear anything.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

I'm interviewing with KKR for a Principal role in their real estate group. All online salary resources are all in alignment with a total comp of $200k+.

Anyone have any direct knowledge or can speak to that group's comp?

Does anyone know if principals are in cubicles or doe they get an office?

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
