When you have a good interview but don’t get selected do you always ask for feedback? The job market is rough right now ugh.

You can always ask for feedback just be prepared to get a boilerplate response that isn’t helpful

In a small percentage of scenarios you get meaningful feedback but don’t count on it

I’ve asked but haven’t gotten any meaningful feedback yet. It’s just a boilerplate response like you said, “we have found someone with more experience.”

I only ask for feedback when it’s a late round, mostly because I’m pissed off and want make them uncomfortable lol.

Went through 5 rounds of what I assumed was a sure shot offer, to be rejected by an automatic rejection message. I responded asking for feedback. If you’re going to tell me no after all that, at least have the guts to tell me why.

the most rounds I did was 5 i think

I’ve never asked for feedback. As said, usually it is a generic response because they don’t want anything coming back to bite them. Also I’d rather just move onto the next, my usual assumption is somebody is just better, if I was at least technically qualified for the role and make it to an interview stage.

Be prepared for them not giving specific feedback. Specific feedback could open the organization up to potential lawsuits, so they intentionally don't give it.

You can't always get what you want. Sadly in this case for legal reasons.

I’ve had several great interviews with a few diff companies. Or rather, I thought they went well but then I get the dreaded “thanks but we made the difficult decision to move forward with other candidates”. I’ve asked for feedback but so far have gotten none.

I know it’s competitive out there, but I also don’t know how I can either position myself better, seek positions that are more aligned with my expertise/experience, or work on improving certain areas.

Any advice on how to proceed?

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer.

Would I still have chance to be offered?
