Appropriate time. To which I was bombarded with emails all afternoon trying to convince me to give them up. Pretty much told them to shove it at that point. Any thoughts?

It depends how badly you want out. Your recruiter is less likely to help you if you withhold information that they want (want vs need is a different discussion).

They should be able to get you interviews without references. Telling them to shove it was the right call.

Get a different recruiter

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..

Hi, I recently applied to a salesforce company and was selected for an interview. I had interviews with a recruiter, department manager and hiring manager and did well in them all.

What are the chances I do not get this job given that I did well in all 3 interviews leading to the final interview with the CEO?
