When a recruiter follows up on a job & tells you they’re still in the interview process for that role... is it exactly what it sounds like? Or could that be an underlying meaning for something else?

If they’re still responding to you, that means you’re still in the running.

I’d think it just means they’re not finished meeting candidates. Still got a shot!

it could mean 3-4 things. i would think you are still in the running in some form.

Fighting Salary Compression

I have 15+ years vesting in current company/ position, 25 years over all. I love my job!
But for the past 3 years I’m told that my yearly annual increases will be decreased due to reaching a salary ceiling. 2% rate increases barely kept pace with rate of living, especially after this years 8-12% inflation increase. Also, new employees are now being hired at a higher rate.

Anyone else experience this issue? How and what is the best course of action to address?

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
