Slightly off topic, but I recently went through my most challenging interview cycle and for the first time in my life I did a lot of interviews that I was not hired for. It was very exhausting and I was pretty down about it for several months (luckily I was employed still). Most recruiters I worked with ghosted.

I interviewed at one of the big companies and did not get the job, but I remembered one of the hiring managers I met during the interview process and followed up with them on LinkedIn and ended up getting another interview for a similar role and got that job.
