What have people found to be a typical timeline to hear back about next steps for a job you applied for online?
This is my first time job hunting since undergrad and I’m not sure what to expect from submitting apps into the ether.

Totally depends. Depends on the recruiter, the hiring manager, the urgency to fill the role. Don’t get caught up in set timelines. I just got an email 2 weeks after my initial to start scheduling next rounds. My job now I applied, interviewed, received offer within a week.

For me it took about 2 months from application to first day (steps were recruiter reached out for initial phone screen, then 4 interviews, then offer, then negotiations, then 2 weeks and exit at current company, short break, start new company)

A lot of times, the larger the company, the slower the process. Don’t dwell on it and just keep rolling and sending resumes out. Think of the interviews as practice. Never know what’ll happen.

This is all extremely helpful feedback, thank you all! Even though the timing seems to vary widely, just knowing that it varies widely helps give me some comfort

What do hiring managers want to hear when they ask "What's your process?" because I don't think I have one.

And when I explain something from Lean UX or something then apparently that's too cookie cutter.

I've done 26 interviews in the last month and I half and I've gotten no where 🥲

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
