I’m really sorry to hear that. The job market is tough right now, so finding something is already an accomplishment. That said, you can still keep looking and find an even better opportunity.

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role.

I tried following up thrice after, no response.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus.

If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
