I’ve been interviewing for a role at a company that I really want to work with, and yesterday I got an email from the recruiter wanting to know if I was available for a quick 15 minute call today. Do recruiters call people to reject them? My friends say it’s a good sign, and I am used to just getting the “thanks but no thanks” *email* when I don’t get a job I interviewed for, but I’m seriously just freaking out right now. Am I being ridiculous?

Sounds like they want to give you the job or are at least interested in hearing more about you. But I wouldn’t think it’s a rejection call

Does it take 15 minutes to tell you they don’t want you?

How far along are you in the process? I’m not saying it is, but if you’re pretty far along I’d guess it’s *more* likely a salary expectations call [tell them nothing] than a no thanks call.

Honestly it could go many ways. I’ve had people schedule those 15 min calls to reject me, to tell me they want to consider me for a role in a few months or to offer me a job.

Hope you got it! I just started a new job and the last step before official offer was 15 min call with HR/recruiter. Walked me through the offer details. I also was questioning if they might call just to reject me lol

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
