Just need to vent. Ghosting from recruiters sucks, makes you doubt your own worth, and there's nothing you can do about it. We're all in this together, right

I think recruiters are dangerous. Both professionally and mentally.

From a recruiter who tries to never ghost, I’m sorry this happened to you. Much like attorneys (I’m one of these, too), there’s always one or two a-holes who give us all a bad name.

I wouldn’t. They consistently ping me with offers to interview for that salary. I tell recruiters don’t contact me for prospects under 215k unless remote and then nothing under 180

This is likely happening because the market is slow. They might feel that way about themselves and just avoid dealing with those feelings by ghosting. If the market were super busy, I think things would be different

I'm numb to it at this point

Sorry this happened. Lots of bad recruiters out there.

Hey folks, need some help. I cleared all my interview rounds and had completed the documentation too. However for more than two weeks the status on the portal is "offer initiated". The HR says the delay is happening because the people who need to approve are on leave. Are they playing around or keeping on hold? Do they actually release offer after this much delay? Please share if you know anything about it.

Hello Guys,

I have accepted EY IN Offer.
Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
