Last month someone contacted me for an interview for a receptionist role, which I went one. I haven’t heard anything back after that, I even sent a follow up message and didn’t get a response. I assume they must’ve chosen someone in that role? Why do I still see the position still listed here on Glass Door?

FWIW, from Chat GPT:

Yes—this happens all the time, and it usually has nothing to do with you personally. Here are the most common reasons a job posting stays up even after you’ve interviewed and haven’t heard back:



🔁 1. They’re still interviewing / keeping options open

Even if you already interviewed, companies often:
• Continue interviewing other candidates
• Keep the posting active until an offer is accepted and signed

👉 You might still be in consideration—they just haven’t decided yet.



🧾 2. HR hasn’t updated the listing

Hiring involves multiple steps:
• Recruiter → hiring manager → approvals → offer → onboarding

Sometimes:
• The job gets filled, but no one removes the posting yet
• HR systems update slowly (or not at all)



🧲 3. They’re building a candidate pool

Some companies leave jobs posted to:
• Collect resumes for future openings
• Have backup candidates if their first choice declines



⏳ 4. Internal delays / hiring freeze

Common behind-the-scenes issues:
• Budget approvals stalled
• Role put on hold
• Leadership changes

👉 In these cases, they often don’t notify candidates right away



🤐 5. Poor communication (unfortunately common)

Many employers:
• Don’t send rejection notices
• “Ghost” candidates after interviews

It’s frustrating, but very common—even after multiple interviews.



🧪 6. They didn’t choose you—but kept the post up

They may have:
• Already selected someone else
• Kept the listing active until that person officially starts

I use Ai as well when I look stuff up. Sometimes, I like knowing what an actual person’s thoughts are.

Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Conflicted 2nd Year Associate here. I generally like my firm but obviously hate the practice of law (biglaw). I've been offered a fairly generous comp package to take a non-attorney compliance role with a FAANG company. While there is a modest base pay cut, the total comp (sign on + annual bonus + options) beats where I'm at now and probably will be better than Cravath-scale (including bonus) through at least Year 4. Since I know I'll bail for in-house anyway, should I go now or wait?
