I've had four interviews since May for a mid-level position, and now they've scheduled a fifth one. At this point, I'm starting to feel like they're just stringing me along, and I'm not sure if they're actually serious about hiring me. Is it normal to have this many interviews for a role that isn't even management level?

3-4 would be max but five is pushing it. I wonder if they're just having you meet more people from the team to see if you'd be a good fit or if they genuinely have more questions.

I’ve been in that situation before and ended up realizing they weren’t really sure what they wanted. Sometimes it’s a red flag about decision-making or internal alignment.

I am one of those people that won't do more than two rounds. I am sorry but there is just no need to do that many rounds of interviews. They should have already been able to make their decision.

It's been nearly 2 months depending on the timing. I know some places take a while but it seems crazy.

What kind of questions are left to be asked? Are they repeating questions you already answered?

Also, how big is this company. That usually indicates the turnaround time for candidate to hire. At least to me it does. Also, what industry do they operate in?

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

Recently moved into Tech Sales. Frustrated with my Salary (32K base/year, negligible bonus potential of a few K). Was making ~3K/week on average in my previous role which was commission only, no base. Feel like I am completely wasting my time and potential. Saw the cut as necessary evil initially in order to move into tech sales and make multi six figure commissions later on with potential to reach 7 figures in total comp. At least my current role is with enterprise accounts which. Thought?

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.
