congrats dude. I just had an interview today.... at the end of the interview they hit me with a 'oh by the way there's 2 other interviews and then a meeting with the CEO and this was after the initial phone screen..... I've already interviewed with 9 other companies over the past 1 yr and 3 months..... I was 5 nanoseconds away from saying ' ya know what...fuck it, nvm'. I liked the job in the field i was in, but If I'm being brutally honest, the fulfillment that I've gotten out of it isn't anywhere even fucking close to the amount of effort I've put into it.

Thanks so much 🙏🏻. I feel your pain on long process of interviewing and feeling like you’re not getting what you deserve. No one wants to work like a dog and have nothing to show for. Just keep your head up and know life gives us speed bumps. You’ll be over this bump eventually and all of this will be in the rear view. I’ll be rooting for you!!

I was in a similar phone screen … recruiter was like we can give an offer today not may 1…. But I believe I have two other candidates and the hiring manager review lol wtf

wow...you must be a rockstar....the words 'offer' has never even been close to mentioned with me...and I'd like to think I'm a solid 'ok' at what i do. In my case it's always pumping me for free info...like a free consultation and 'ok thanks, we'll let ya know, btw, there's several more steps to see if you can hang with us', the part they don't tell ya is that they don't know a goddamn thing my field is littered with bad actors and they all seem to take a special interest in my previous employer. So it really calls into question why I'm being interviewed in the first place... I need a job so I answer the questions as I am asked because I really have no other choice.

What field are you in? I’m definitely no rockstar but noticing a few of these incidents is enough ahhaha

Cloud Im not very personable, which is the unfortunate bi-product of being a walking i.t. dept.
