Yeah it sucks. I was really excited about this one. Cool work, got along great with my would be boss, and the second to last time I talked to them they all but gave me an offer. Then nothing :/

Wtf? 7 rounds and a 5-hour case? What kind of position were you interviewing for?

Not gonna lie, on top of being absolutely livid about being ghosted it would make me re-consider what I’m trying to do altogether.

Is it worth your time/effort/mental health to go through that gauntlet if it’s not something you’re dying to do?

Went through 4 rounds and after the final round the recruiter asked me to confirm my salary expectations. I gave her a range within what she originally gave me for the role and she said I wanted too much for my experience. Emailed back asking to negotiate and was ghosted. It’s a crapshoot

I interviewed for an investment associate role a while back too. 7 hour long final round presenting a case to 20+ people on a deck I worked a week on.

Recruiter asked me about salary, start date etc. said the team loved me. Then came back a week later saying team “went with banker. Thx”

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.
