The interview went pretty good and the interviewer asked relevant questions for the Server role. It was longer than expected, over 1.5 hours, probably because the hiring manager wasn't available that day and the interview manager conducted it instead.

I went through a few interview rounds, and spent a lot of time putting together a detailed 30/60/90 day plan. Then, I got a generic email saying I didn't get the job. While I get they need to vet candidates, asking for a full strategic plan before an offer feels like too much, especially with no real feedback or a personal note. They should respect candidates' time.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Could you tell me what the on-target earnings (OTE) are for this position, given that it's commission-based?
