Several times I have managed to get a few rounds into an interview prices thinking things are going really well, and then they hire someone that was further along in the interview process.

I typically find and apply to jobs through LinkedIn and I’m wondering if I’m finding the open roles too late.

Where do you guys find jobs? Is there another platform that companies post to sooner or something?

I've been doing a mix of LinkedIn, Indeed and company career pages. The career pages give you the best chance of applying before a thousand other people do, but the obvious drawback is they're much harder to keep tabs on.

If they gave you several interviews they were definitely interested and gave you the opportunity to sell yourself but more than likely you just didn't cut it. The "moving forward with someone further along in the process" is the recruiting equivalent of "it's not you it's me". It's a soft let-down because recruiters don't like telling people they weren't good enough. I've gotten it too. And don't worry about being the first applicant, just keep submitting.

There are ways to set alerts for when jobs are posted within five minutes. I’ll look into that for sure. Also check out Glassdoor. Maybe there’s some posts on here that have fewer applications and might be more visible.

10 YOE in strategy/ MGMT consulting. Got an AWS "company fit" fit but not a fit for the position I interviewed for. The recruiter said they are going to keep looking for openings that would be a better fit (non-tech). Has anyone received an offer in this situation, and if so how long did it take?

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
