Yeah I mean I don’t really feel like it’s asking for too much to get a no. I understand companies are worried about the legal implications that could stem from giving specifics, but hearing “we chose to move forward with another candidate” doesn’t seem like too much to ask for lol

I've started applying a lot less frequently as of late. Finding a batch of companies that post on smaller forums like this usually nets me a better response rate because I can speak to an actual person. Keeping it open-ended makes me think I'll eventually hear something back, even after a few weeks. Mentally exhausting

I mean, even a generic rejection would be preferable to radio silence. It keeps my hopes up, thinking I'll eventually hear something back with enough time/patience. This whole process is just brutal

This perspective makes it more understandable, but after 1-2 follow-ups, does that usually remain the case?
