Totally fine. It is extremely not IT’s job to care about this. Just check what your calendar visibility is to your team, cause they may be able to see

I like the part about not being serious about leaving as if that is a key difference maker

funnylikehelpful

And in that case, they wouldnt ask to begin with. The question is can they get caught doing it or not, your intention of leaving doesnt change the fallout from the standpoint of your employer, not that they'd really believe you anyway if you got caught and said i wasnt really serious about leaving

I’ve done dozens. How would they know between an interview and a client call ?

I was interviewed at EY UK on 7th Sep. It was quite smooth. Since then I haven't heard anything back from them though interviewer claimed SLA to get back with outcome of interview is 48 hours. On portal it still says I'm in hiring team phase. It was level 1 interview.

Should I take this delay as rejection?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

How do you approach a firm recruiting you when you weren't looking to move? It would be similar work, but I could negotiate a significant salary boost which would help my family reach financial goals faster. I like everything about my firm, but the pay is on the low side. I've never interviewed when I wasn't eager to leave my current job, and I'm uncertain how to discuss that with the recruiter & interviewer. I want to leverage it, but don't want to sound greedy.
