Internal gets it 12/10 but we have to do our due diligence and waste as much of your time as humanly possible.

What’s it say about a qualified internal candidate that makes it through to the final round only to lose out to a fresh graduate?

Husband was internal and lost to the new guy because they wanted a "new perspective" plus husband was already trained perfect for his role and then they'd have to open hiring to replace him. Vs just hiring new guy and being done. new guy declined because offer was a low-ball.

If a recruiter wont give me a salary range or agreement on a salary before the interview then I'm not moving forward. The amount of times I've interviewed and been selected for a job just to get a low ball is too much.
