Me, looking at my reflection in a black screen after telling the recruiter I don’t have any awards and the Zoom interview suddenly ending.

This kind of behavior actually happens?

@CW1 yes it definitely is. Especially as a junior it’s not always expected you have awards but i found it incredibly helpful to have some creative side project to point to that can glamour the recruiters.

I had a similar experience with a CCO. Everybody loved me up the chain but then I got on the call with the CCO, he asked what awards I had, I explained that the agencies I worked at weren’t really into spending the money to go to awards, he said awards are important and basically ended the call right there.

Any CCO worth their salt knows the drill when it comes to awards. He/she is the one who looked bad on that call.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
