I went through a three-round interview process over the course of three months, meeting with the recruiter, department chairs, and several partners in the prospective office. Although communication was occasionally delayed, I remained engaged and optimistic throughout the process. Unfortunately, after the final round, I never received any follow-up or closure. Being ghosted at that stage was disappointing and, frankly, unprofessional—especially given the time and effort invested. I expected a greater level of respect and transparency from a firm of this caliber.
