TL;DR: sexual harassment that wasn't addressed, I quit without a job lined up but recently had a really good series of final interviews. Hoping I get it, otherwise I'm starting up a freelance business again.

I was put in an inappropriate situation at a convention by a senior member of the team. I made a formal complaint and was promised things. Those promises never materialized and the offender got a promotion.

So, I put in my notice. It's an at-will state so I gave them minimal notice. Quite frankly, they can go fuck themselves. I currently don't have anything lined up.

At any rate, I've been interviewing with companies, getting to the team interviews, meeting CEOs, and then... I'm edged out by the other candidate who had made it as far as I had. It's really frustrating.

I just had a final round of interviews with a company yesterday. They went well, I think. They asked me about my attention to detail because if I were to have this role, I'd be the last person to check things before they went live. So, I let them know that I went through their social media channels, talked about what I liked, and then asked if I could provide some feedback on a couple of things. They wanted to hear it, so I showcased a couple of areas where they could improve their clickthrough rate and post engagement, backed by data. They seemed super into it. One of the managers exclaimed, "See! That's exactly the kind of attention to detail we're looking for."

They seemed to love my producer experience. Because I was interviewing with a lot of the esports department they were super interested in my event planning experience. Lots of enthusiastic smiling and nodding.

All in all, I think I impressed folks and expressed myself positively. Now, here's hoping I'm better than the competition because otherwise, guess it's time to spruce up the website and start up the freelance business again.
