Thought I'd start a thread so other active job seekers could share thoughts.
I work for a large well known company in (software) Product Management. Problem is these guys here don't know what Prod Mgmt is. They have turned our team into project management and some other mundanes tasks. COVID happened and then I had some other personal issues so I did not get the time to actively look though I did passively and have been interviewing since Aug 2020. Got to the final rounds of many but fell through.
The team is having some trouble and some people are leaving. Work culture is toxic and people throw one another under the bus. I got affected last year but managed to survive. It's rearing it's ugly head again. For the past month I put all other things on hold and started my search. Got some good calls among many bad calls. Unfortunately all of them fell through at some stage or other. I have been talking to a SF based company for the past 3 weeks and did 4 interviews and had a presentation stage. I thought it went quite well. Today got a reject.
Very depressing. I just have to regroup and keep trying. Just wondering if anyone else had such experiences. People say the market is hot, but for me it's been cold.
