My thing is.. they’ll sometimes put you through 200 million interviews without any intention of hiring you.....
Honestly 3 interviews is on the low end for high paying jobs
Like people said in here software jobs usually have 1 hr screen, 1 coding screen, then a full day of 4-6 interviews as the final round
Worst I had was Affirm. I had four interviews and didn’t even get a final round cause they made me interview with two separate hiring managers to see if there was a team that needed me. their final round was also 7 interviews so 9 in total in normal cases and would been 11 in my case if I made it
They were paying $250k+ tho
I had to do this before, it is bullshyt. Had like 5 meetings (on-site too) and they ghosted afterwards. Waste of fukking time.Anything more than two interviews is pushing it. Imagine doing five/six interviews and not getting the job, somewhere along the interview someone would rate you low
Narcissist shyt.
If you were unemployed and desperate for work then ofcourse but what if you already had a job?
Long story short, I have applied for this job that I really want. I had a initial interview through Zoom which went well.
Then I was invited to do this online questionnaire so they can see what my personality is like.
After this I was invited for a face to face interview which lasted over a hour and at the end I was told by the interviewer that he will be passing feedback to the Managing Director. He said the Managing Director would most likely want to meet me as well.
Here is where I stand. I have no issue having another remote meeting with the manager through Zoom but I would feel frustrated if this has to be face to face.
I think its unfair for me to book time off work again and travel there which by no means is close.
What are your thoughts about a third interview? I was previously only aware about a second interview in job applications lol
If you get to a third interview and haven’t discussed salary to at least know y’all are in the same neighborhood then you have goofed.Put it this way: When are most of us most succesful gettin at chicks? When you already got one…or when you got a healthy roster and you would be perfectly fine without her. You content and confident and they can smell it on you.
I say that to say this: Go thru with it. Dont rehearse no answers don’t think about more then 2 seconds until it’s time for the interview. Literally don’t give af. (Still professional). I bet money they’ll offer you, and when they do, ask for a ridiculous amount of money more than it’s listed or than you expect.
Don’t underestimate the company cost of hiring the right person. Or the amount of money they have budgeted for the position. Ie If they offering 100k, the internal budget for it might be 150k if not more. So if they’re at a third interview the clock is ticking they want to close and they have now made a quasi investment in you. Use that as leverage
I’ve seen it play out in plenty of ways, there’s no 1 way salary is broached. You can be in the same ballpark and still request more. You can know the listed salary range and go above that. Sometimes it will behoove you to not box yourself into a salary or range…sometimes it will be behoove them not to. A lot of variablesIf you get to a third interview and haven’t discussed salary to at least know y’all are in the same neighborhood then you have goofed.
