Currently been interviewing at an agency for a little over two months. Being kept in the dark mostly. Do you think I’m being strung along?

Took <1 month to get my current role. But I spent 6 months interviewing for a role a few years ago. Sometimes the need (or approval of the opening) changes mid-recruiting. If they’re keeping you on the hook, they like you enough to hope the position will re-open. That doesn’t mean stop looking elsewhere, though.

We try and complete the hiring process from start to finish in under a month. That being said, sometimes the client we are hiring for is stinging us along and taking awhile to sign the SOW. Could be more of the new client taking time than anything you are doing wrong. I recommend you continue to apply for other jobs.

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.

I heard it’s not good to bash other companies but I genuinely do not know how to explain why I want to leave without my current company getting bashed. Should I just put it all out there or keep it vague?
