What’s worse? Bombing an interview or getting ghosted after you thought you crushed an interview? I can’t seem to catch a break.

Ghosted, definitely. It leaves you first with extended uncertainty about if you would hear back. But that’s followed (for me, anyway) by extended disappointment and even anger at the bad effing MANNERS. The lack of simple decency and character that would allow a “professional “ to simply ...walk away without so much as a note. We all have to deliver bad news in this job. Just DO it. Show some respect . Put on your big person pants and make a call. Write a two line email. Send a text. It’s not that hard.

Ghosted, assuming you didn’t bomb it.

If you bomb, you move on and learn from it quickly. Thinking you crushed it and being ghosted leads to time spent second guessing the whole thing. Keep your head up, consider every interview practice and repetition until you land something.

@IP - Aww thanks so much for the kind words. I know deep down inside this will pass, and something great will happen, but right now I’m feeling extra salty. Chin up I guess.

@OP I definitely know the feel. It’s okay to be salty, but you also gotta shake it off and keep after it. Like I said, you’ll land something wonderful soon. 😎

@OP PREACH 🙌🏻 It’s so frustrating/discouraging, no matter what... and for me personally, both of the situations you described happened 4x to me off and on over the span of 1.5 years... with the SAME agency. Felt like an abusive bf/gf I could find the strength to walk away from. They’d dangle the carrot just close enough that I kept moving towards it, until finally, a better opportunity came along, and I have grown 10x as a producer. Keep your head up, you’ll land something wonderful soon!!!

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.
