Looking for honest input from both sides of hiring/job market. People apply, revise resumes, interview, and still get ghosted or told “not the right fit” with no explanation. What actually eliminates candidates before they get a fair shot? Is it experience level, salary expectations, job history, overqualification, ATS filters, or timing? Be direct—what are hiring teams really screening for right now?

Avoiding US fishes who live in a different reality. How do the london fishes earn (level, company). What % are you able to save monthly?

Does HR reference check multiple candidates after final interviews or should I expect an offer once my references check out?

Hello fishes, what's the salary range for grade 6 in Cisco?

Thanks in advance

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Hi all,
