Multiple interviews, not one solid 😢

Multiple interview streams: company 1: got verbal offer, nothing on paper yet. Been 2 weeks, hiring manager isn’t picking up. company 2: two telephonic rounds cleared, waiting for on-site round. Recruiter calls to say, you know we’re still thinking when to do the on-site - you’re great but maybe we wait to make it a January hire. company 3: thought was doing great, whiteboard and all went well. Asked a couple questions around holiday plans and hiring manager didn’t say anything then, sent a note through recruiter that I was being too personal. End of story. company 4: verbal offer again, nothing in the bag yet. Have been reached out to by recruiter from another super awesome tech company (non-tech role), in two minds whether I should respond now with frazzled nerves or wait it out. I don’t believe in verbal offers as I was once interviewed by a giant in a very rainy city in the Pacific NW and on my way back home, the hiring manager called me while I was at the airport that they’d move forward and come Monday, headcount cut 😢 Why is getting into Product companies so hard for non-engineers? Don’t companies require people to sell stuff and/or build supporting IT applications? Are PMs/PgMs necessarily awesome coders? Sad day continues...
