We’ve all been there. A recruiter reaches out and offers to double your TC. It will completely change your life. You give them 2 full months of your life in the process, right down to the final interviews and every last word in the emails.

And then you get dropped for someone better. You feel defeated, confused, angry, resentful, jealous …

But as the clouds clear, you forget and move on. So I just wanted to let all the successful people know that I’m happy for them. I’m psyched you got the job, that it changes your life, that you get to move to a new city with less financial worries, that your spouse or S/O gets to be proud of you (or at least you don’t worry they feel bad for you), that you get a new chapter.

My day will come too ✌🏻

Love my Blind community a little harder today

    I'm that phase, "And then you get dropped for someone better. You feel defeated, confused, angry, resentful, jealous …" but I know my time will come soon😭

    OP
    By the way I also just want to point out that my recruiters were nothing short of amazing individuals through and through. The process may have taken long but recruiters today are super overworked and mine still made sure to communicate with me super well the whole time. I slipped up in one interview and that’s all it took. Whether you got or didn’t get the job, show your recruiter appreciation as well. Spread the good karma around

  • I think that the interview process needs to be more respectful of the candidates time. Why do companies string people along for months ?

      My last interview process, was an accelerated interview process. Recruiter talked to me on Monday, phone screens Weds and Thurs, virtual on-site Friday of the following week, offer on Tuesday of the week following.

      If you're in a two-month-long interview process, it's only because you've let yourself be in a two-month-long interview process.

      You have to take the view that you are a product. And Some Company out there wants what you're selling. Advertise yourself, don't sell yourself cheaply, and most of all if you don't like the way the buyer is treating you AS PART OF THE PURCHASE PROCESS, fuck 'em. There's always the nest buyer.

    I was passed on 200+ times until I landed my double TC last week. Don't give up OP. The rejections only made me stronger. The companies that passed are the ones missing out.

    Amazon has you down that bad huh. I’m right there with ya though, interview rejections sting worse than any other type of rejection.
