Just finished an all day interview panel in which 2 of the 7 panel members seemed disengaged. Is this a sign they’ve already found someone they liked for the opening?

No. People are busy and distracted. Interviewing is a necessary evil of getting someone qualified to do the job. They'd much rather get real work done.

Very true.

Also, I think some people are bad interviewers. Don’t sweat it.

Fwiw, I’ve had disengaged interviewees during onsites and later gotten the offer. It doesn’t mean much except they have something else on their minds.

You can’t please everyone. Who knows if you weren’t their top candidate, but maybe you were for the other 5. Here’s hoping those two weren’t the key decision makers. Also, if you interviewed late this week, you were probably the last thing standing between them and a long weekend. Shake it off and enjoy the weekend if you can. G’luck!

Thank you! You as well

Disinterested might mean they just don’t want to deal with the process as opposed to not liking you.

Disinterest is always better than disdain. I’ve interviewed plenty of people that I was ambivalent about at best. On those people, I almost always just deferred to other interviewers who actually cared.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.
