A few months ago I interviewed for a high level manager role. And after multiple rounds meeting with everyone and including the CEO I was asked to interview with the CEO again and a consultant they hired who has been filling the role the last few months. Based on my past conversation the CEo was ready to hire me. To my surprise the consultant was a former co worker of mine at a past job. We did not work much together but we knew of each other. They were not much of a doer more of a talker. After that meeting I was ghosted and I saw the job was reposted. So clearly based on their feedback I was not hired. Fast fwd to now I was hired on at a new company been there 3 months and guess who is coming in to pitch their consulting services! This was a huge account for them! Their eyes watered when I walked into the office. They knew they were fucked! Felt good! Sent them an email after the meeting letting them know we will not be bringing them on for their services!
