I’ve gotten to the final stage in interview process at 5 places now to be told no. First and second interviews at a bunch of other places too. Starting to really feel drained. So much work for nothing

Right there with you. It sucks to feel like you’re almost at the finish line so many times and then pushed back to zero.

Good news is better opportunities will open up with the new year when budgets are fresh. That’s what I tell myself anyway.

You must be seriously good to reach final stages! I think you are almost there! Ever reach out to ask why they chose not to hire you? Maybe it’s valuable info that would help in future intervieews.

Thank you, it’s just so discouraging and exhausting to on top of interviews do all these design challenges that feel like free work for nothing but maybe a dribbble post lol. They’ve all pretty much said they liked me a lot and it was close but they ended up choosing someone that was a better fit for the specific position (like had previous experience in the specific field) or someone a little more senior than me. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I had the same story not that long ago. I bet it’s like one person who says no... as well as other situational reasons that doesn’t have to do with your talent. What happened with me is that after I got rejected the last time I got an internal referral to another company who was also hiring that ultimately gave me an offer. So, you never know. Be nice to everyone 😬

What are your excuses to leave your current job early for an interview at another agency?

Are there any fundamental differences between a salary negotiation during the start (applying for the job) vs. Salary negotiation during a performance review (you’ve been employed for x time and looking for a raise).

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI.

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
