Recently went through an interview process with a competitor that made me meet with the practice leader twice and did 5 rounds separate from that along with a case interview that took 2-3 hours additionally of prep for them to tell me that they super interested, but the immediate need is a certain formal education I don’t have and would like to talk at the end of the summer if needs change. Am I wrong if I email the MD and say why did you waste my time when I was transparent?

And to add to the above, there’s absolutely zero upside to lashing or venting out at the MD. You seem like a smart guy who was able to clear those many rounds, you’ll do just fine in another set of interviews for a company that’s a better fit for you.

Drink a beer, relax and enjoy your weekend. You’ll forget about this much sooner than you think :)

Absolutely.

Worth their time when they're going to ignore it, and possibly now look more negatively at you
Nah, they obviously don't care. Put that effort into the next positive thing for you. 👍

To be clear they were very adamant I didn’t do anything that “missed the mark” it’s about immediate need, but they would’ve known that when initially reaching out. I’m really pissed.

Guys ,

I have a leadership connect call tomorrow. I got ITS hub as office loc in offer letter. Can I ask them where would I work from June 1st onwards ?

Last year I moved internally from a
Paralegal level 11 w/ 14 yrs exp at
$100k base + up to 8% bonus to my
current role as compliance manager
level 9 at $123k base + up to 35%
bonus. I was above cap in my prior
role and now my range is up to $138k
base. I'm being recruited to my old
team as a level 10
Manager with
same base/bonus as now but since it's
a lower level I will cap out within a

more interesting but limited in career
