2/3 Not making much progress in my job search in Nov and Dec felt fine—I figured there would be more hiring in Q1. In Q1, I interviewed a lot but after interviewing, a few recruiters asked me to wait, sometimes 2 weeks or a month before rejecting me. It probably indicates I’ve been the 2nd or 3rd choice a lot, which is theoretically a good sign. But repeatedly being asked to wait like that after meeting great teams and building what I thought was a good rapport with them has been rough.
