Career guidance on interviews?
I’m seeking some guidance regarding my job search in the tech field. I have five years of experience as a Data Coordinator and Business Intelligence Analyst, and my relevant tech stack includes SQL, Power BI, coding, stakeholder management, data validation, QA automation also domain knowledge including in supply chain management, healthcare management (insurance claims), non profits organization
Here's a brief overview of my recent interview process:
- Round 1: Phone interview
- Round 2: Take-home assessment/data project focused on analysis and strategic recommendations
- Round 3: Coding assessment (cleared)
- Round 4: Team interview
- Round 5: Final interview with the director
After completing all these rounds, I sent a thank-you email that conveyed assertiveness without sounding desperate. I also negotiated for a salary at the lower end of the spectrum.
Despite this effort, I have faced repeated rejections. I have experienced a similar situation with other companies, going through up to five final rounds without receiving any offers. To date, I have submitted around 800 applications, participated in 8 interviews, and reached the final rounds in 5 instances, yet I have not received any offers.
I am beginning to wonder if I am genuinely qualified for these roles or if there are other factors at play that might be affecting my chances. I am open to hybrid or remote work arrangements.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to improve my chances of receiving a job offer.
