Either its a bad recruiter or you're not the candidate they're looking for.

Maybe the former because they reached out to me in the first place and scheduled time to have an initial conversation then they just ghost just like that. This is. FAANG recruiter

Same reason people on dating apps ghost, there are hundreds of options and you didn't make the cut. Unfortunately we live in a world where if there's nothing to gain, it's considered a waste of time. Chin up, it happens to the best of us.

Lol I didn’t even have a conversation yet, they reached out to schedule time to talk and never showed up for the call.

I’m pretty sure I just had it happen to me. It doesn’t feel great, but I’ll live. After awhile, the recruiters who do this often, get a bad rap, and it’ll be deserved.

They decided you’re not the right match?

Ummm they reached out to me in the first place and scheduled time to have an initial conversation then they just ghost just like that. This is. FAANG recruiter

It is often because you are the number 2-5 candidate, and they are sorting through offer letters to the candidates ahead of you and that takes forever. Also possible that they have a company policy to ghost to reduce liability. Simple calculation that reduction of liability is more value than perceived company worth from rejected candidates. I don't agree with it, but hey the later is more difficult to quantify

Because most of the ppl they talk to is just to get their numbers up.

I had a recruiter reach out to me from Google 3 years ago about a role she thought I would be good for. She really advocated for me to be in the role but the hiring managers didn’t feel like I was qualified.
We had a discussion and she gave me a lot of good feedback on how I could be a stronger candidate and encouraged me to reach out to her directly for future opportunities. Fast forward to now, I’ve gained a lot of experience and skills. Should I reach out even though it’s been 3 years?

Has anyone purchased with a partner? I'm cash strapped after purchasing two 4plexes recently but found a good deal. I would manage renovations, tenant screening, and property management.

How should we structure the deal? What would you want for bringing $80k to a deal?

We would do an equitable split? Obviously they'd get 50%+ of rent but do they get more rent up front?

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at. I have fucked up so much (led a disastrous client meeting, mistakes, slow to answer Qs, etc). My boss is picking up that this isn’t a “new” issue, its a me issue. I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?

I'm looking to leave CrossCountry Consulting after two months. In the interview process, I believed them when they said they respect work-life balance, and now I have a manager who says 50 hours chargeable is what he expects on my project. Is it wrong to boomerang back to EY this fast? I’m not going to make it here a year.
