I’ve had a few interviews for roles where everything felt positive, then I get rejected with no feedback at all. After spending hours prepping, the silence is honestly the worst part. Do you ever follow up again after a rejection or just move on?

A follow-up after not hearing back is the most I do. After that, just time to move on. If I have a rejection, I might send a polite thanks for your time, but I’m not asking for feedback.

Agree. I don’t even follow up, as I don’t think following up would change or impact the result. I would move on after interviewing

I’ve had like 15 of those before I finally got my first offer. You have to stay positive and continue the process if this is truly the jump you want to do. Wish you the best.

I don’t follow up as i don’t think a follow up email would change anything at all. I just move on. If it’s yours, it’s yours, if not, it’s the next one
