might be a dumb question but what is the difference between recruiter and hiring manager?

Hiring manager is person you’d report into should you get the job.

Recruiter is HR person who is helping the Hiring manager. They take care of logistics / offer letter / visa stuff etc.

One finds you and the other fires you.

They also typically are the first screen. The hiring manager doesn't have the time, nor desire to sort through resumes, search on-line for qualified candidates and do initial phone or zoom interviews.

Hiring manager is usually going to be the person you'd work for directly when hired on.

Also at search firms, someone can have the title of recruiter and be a consultant that sources and recruits top executive talent.

One gets paid to hire you, the other pays you when you are hired.

Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
