You ever send an update email, then hear nothing for days, and convince yourself you tanked the deal? I know it’s not rational, but the silence is deafening. Anyone have a healthy way of handling that limbo without refreshing your inbox every six minutes?

Focus on something else. You send updates and follow ups and then it’s a waiting game, so use the time for something meaningful.

It happens more often than I'd like. The thing I've come to terms with is that a lot of the time, it's completely out of your control. Even if you've done everything in your power to make it work, timing, budget, and red tape can all tank a deal. Understanding that has helped me move on without obsessing over what I could have done differently.

Thanks for the insight!

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
