Nothing sucks more than going on an interview(s), thinking you did well, and then not hearing from the company for weeks. Having to write off a company you really liked is so sad

Amen to that. Especially having no idea why you haven't heard anything

Yeah, I’ve had a couple of recent interviews where it sounds like I’m their ideal candidate (right level of experience, direct industry experience, etc.) I think I interview pretty well, then... ghost town. I write it off as, “If they’re not professional enough to follow up as a basic, professional courtesy to say I’m not the right fit, then that tells me a lot about how the company treats their people, and perhaps I’m dodging a bullet.”

Don’t be shy, follow up. And nudge them with everything you mentioned

Thought I was ghosted, but a month later I heard back. Turns out the recruiter simply marked all emails received during Labor Day long weekend + ensuing PTO as “read."

Oh. Thanks. I feel better now. Still debating whether or not I should respond.

Change my mind: the talk around things shifting to a 'new normal' is overblown. Society's collective conscience is too short-term to enact massive changes to things we are comfortable (e.g., global warming). Yes, it will take awhile for offices to open back up, flights to be full, etc., but within 1-2 years things willbe mostly back to what they are like now and this massive structural shift will have never materialized.
