I got a rejection today from LinkedIn. I thought I did pretty well on all rounds and so did the recruiter but came back with a reject from HC. Now I gotta wait a year again to interview again? How the hell does HC evaluate ?
Flip a coin. Must of been your unlucky day.
The same way you'd expect any HC to evaluate based on interviewer feedback.
The recruiter said feedback was good and also one of the managers checked my profile on LinkedIn. I thought I’d made it :(
Sorry it didn't work out. I don't know what the cool off period is, but try again at that point!
You have to wait a year. I don’t really understand why a lot of people want to work for linkedin though. It’s a boring website company. Good luck!
I thought it was easier to crack than G or FB. Oh well
And it’s a Microsoft company. And their UI sucks (I don’t mean the look). And the backend sucks too, whenever I try to edit my profile my browser freezes.
Yoe and what level did you interview for?
People fail in tech interviews for many reasons - and most of them has nothing to do with you (your skillset did not fit the position, interviewer is new / not calibrated, he didn't like your shoes, he was constipated etc). Dont take it personally or discouraged. I have rejected many candidates and in hindsight I now realized it was me being shallow or stupid. I try not to be now, but I bet 10 years later when Iook back I'd call me a fool. At the very least I remind myself not to be an asshole.
‘He was constipated’- so true in tech world 😀
Yeah makes sense been part of panels where good candidates were rejected and felt bad for them. Guess it happens everywhere and got over it now ;)
How was interview process? What did they ask?
Nice people and not too difficult questions
You think there were racist ?
Nope was mixed so that’s ruled out
Have you ever worked for a start-up? Some HC think that a signal of dirty hack. Yes I agree it is totally nonsense but I have seen people get rejected for this reason.
Haha nope! Anyways fuck it. Will keep grinding LC and trying my luck
Why u sweating LinkedIn so hard? That’s a first
Lol good question. I guess it’s one of the easier ones to crack and I’m bummed now I have to prep for the real ones 😛
I don’t know if it’s one of the easier ones but it’s nothing special. There’s more than enough decent companies around here. Good luck
How long it took them to reject after the onsite?
Also curious - had my onsite 4 days ago and haven’t heard anything
My onsite was a week ago
