Story Time. A couple weeks ago, a recruiter reached out about an opportunity that would be a large pay boost (hello client side) from my current role. I scheduled a call to discuss the role and it seemed everything went well and on that call. The recruiter said the next step would be his assistant reaching out to schedule the first interview. I think, “Great!” A few days later, the recruiter emailed me “Thanks for your interest but we’ve decided to go with an internal candidate.” *continued*

I applied to, interviewed for, was offered a job and ultimately turned it down for several reasons. Weeks later a recruiter from that company reached out to me asking if I would be interested in hearing more about a role... the exact role I had already been offered and then turned down. I felt like I was in Groundhog Day.

funny

Wooooow haha talk about déjà vu

While I thought the excuse was bs given the in depth description I was given of next steps, I appreciated not being ghosted and replied “Thank you for keeping me updated!” A few minutes ago, I received an email from the assistant to schedule my interview. Um, ok? Someone messed up somewhere 😂

Whats been your weirdest recruiter interaction?

@DRO1 I replied to the assistant asking for clarity, and he kicked the ball back to the Recruiter’s court who was CC’d. Radio silence since then 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

Leaving soon for brand management role in CPG which I’m really excited about but curious if this will close the door to opportunities (product marketing, non technical product manager) in tech in the future. Really interested in the brand management role but if I end up not liking it the comp trajectory is not nearly as good as tech and wanted to know if that door will still be open. 2YOE, if I make a switch would likely be at 4-5YOE assuming I don’t go MBA route
