I’ve had three interviews now where I made it to the final round and was told I did not have enough experience needed for the role. Would much rather have this sort of thing communicated after the first interview instead of getting dragged along for a ride. Incredibly frustrating.

Maybe they meant compared to the other finalists after they evaluated you all together, rather than you not meeting the minimum number of years required. You wouldn't have made it to the finals unless they saw something in you. I've been in the same position - beat out in the final round by people with much more seniority. I took it as a compliment that I could compete with them.

Still though, it stings and I'm sorry about this. Keep your head up.

In general the application apparatus is broken and until it’s either regulated or candidates start refusing to go along with it this stuff happens.

I’ve gone through day long interviews only to be then told they were going to fill internally or not fill it at all. Like… figure that out before you waste so much of my time!

I’d love to see some regulatory body come in and limit the amount of time a company can take interviewing a candidate. I hate to be that way because in general I’m not of the opinion that government intervention usually helps but sometimes it gets to a point…

Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
