So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?

Focus on what you can control OP. You killed the interview obviously. Just have to wait and see what happens. Either way, sounds like you did a great job and should have no problem finding another job if you don’t get that one. Good luck!

Thank you EY1!! Someone else told me the same thing. I’m just worried because that was the perfect job but I’m going to do my best to stay positive!

Is this at a financial services company?

No it’s not

I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
