Recruiter: I’ll get back to you this evening(yesterday) latest in the morning with the decision.
Time: 3pm EST next day.
Unofficial result: recruiter MIA; therefore Rejection.
I’d be surprised if she writes back with a positive outcome after this hr. Simply because if it was positive she’d share the news by now and start the process for us both to get paid asap.

Am i wrong in my assessment?

There’s a 70/30 shot you’re correct, but in either case it isn’t worth the emotional investment you’ve put in

Your assessment is incorrect. Delays are common enough to not assume it's bad news.

Stress all of Friday morning, don't see any response

As someone else said, just try to emotionally detach and move on. By 4 pm, I ended just taking a nap to forget about the whole thing.

Just follow up and let him/her know that your next-steps re: competing offers are time sensitive. As such, you’d appreciate an update before end-of-business today, otherwise he/she may withdraw you from consideration for the position the recruiter is leaving you hanging on. And thank him/her for their prompt attention to the request.

Or leave out the part about asking to be withdrawn. Just highlight that you need a status so you can manage expectations/responses on competing offers.

Its just that the whole experience have been very unprofessional. Its not just these guys, but in general. Its ridiculous the standard they hold you during interviews but can’t make interviews on time, be prepared or just handle basic logistics and coordination

Seller’s market my friend

Can’t assume the worst. Most things are out of the recruiters control. They are simply the middle man and can’t help it if other people are slow to respond and make a decision.

In myCompetency portal, my primary skill is being displayed as X, where my primary skill is Y. When I tried to change it, it goes to my approver for approval and she's declined to approve it with reason that your interview was taken for X technology however it is not correct, my interview was taken on Y technology only.

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
