You have the right to confirm likely salary offer after interview number two.

Unfortunately there’s a really strange thing that happens in very long interview processes, is the employer starts to think something is wrong because the process has taken so long, despite the process being driven by them.

Anyhow, to your situation…. It is now an employers market and some of them need to feel loved.

So you should effusively tell them that you love the company and love the job.



Well, I pretty much told them that 2 weeks ago. If they want more than that... I'm not sure what else I can do. Right now, I'm actually starting to ponder whether I should tell them "no", because it starts to feel like a red flag.


Ghost them and move on. Why waste your time?


I'll probably send a thank you note rather than ghosting them outright, but this has become the plan as of yesterday.


One thing I have learned from Krav Maga, you don't act passive or submissive unless you are about to kick someone in the groin and smash them in the face.


Well, if there is one bias I've confirmed from Aikido, you don't pick a fight when it's just as simple not to :)


Probably a “no thanks” email is enough in this case.


> Why waste your time?

Personally I don't feel great contributing to the trend of ghosting everyone, and sending a thank you note adds a sense of closure and completion.
