Need advice - big tech interviews, bizops interviews. With the last 2 tech companies I talked to, recruiters wanted me to talk to a team member after talking to them as a second screening, instead of letting me talk to the hiring manager. I wonder if this is the usual practice? Is it because the recruiters are not confident in their screening ability? Any specific things that I need to look out for in a peer interview that is pre-hiring manager interview? Thank you.

Sharing my experience with Deloitte USI interview and offer negotiation. I gave Deloitte interview 2 months ago. After managerial round I did multiple follow ups and Deloitte didn’t bother to reply. I moved on and got another offer. After 1 month Deloitte came back and asked for documents and didn’t show up for another 1 month. Today HR called and asked my expectations. I have 23.5 in hand so I asked for 26 which she said out of budget. Then I asked 23.5 fixed atleast. Contd… in comments

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested.

I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
