Send exactly one more, then mentally move on. Ghosting after final round usually means one of: internal hiring freeze, they picked someone e…
HR here. Never give a single number, give a researched range and anchor to market. My script that works: "Based on my research for this role…
I've done both. MNC gives you a brand name that opens doors forever, plus proper processes you can learn and carry anywhere. SME gives you r…
