I'm currently employed making good money at a big corporate job that is pleasant enough. My coworkers are great, but I'm kind of unhappy that now we're likely to be remote always. Further, it's the typical corporate job: you come in, do your job, and only care about getting your work done because you want to do a good job at whatever you do. I'm not complaining; it's a good job.
Despite the above, I saw an opening for a position that I'm extremely qualified for at an organization whose work I support immensely, and which I respect (or had respected) a great deal. I applied for the job, and they they set up a phone interview with me, and then, another...and so on. It was basically:
- First week of May: send application
- Second week of May: first interview with a person who was very enthusiastic
- Second to third week of May: called my references, all of whom gave glowing comments
- Third week of May: Interview with a second person who said she was traveling, but wanted to talk to me since it was a priority; said she thought I was great from my cover letter and just wanted to confirm; very enthusiastic
- Fourth week of May: Interview with two more people; they were friendly
- Second week of June: Interview with two more people, both of whom were friendly
- Second week of June: Silence. I followed up with an email; they said they were very busy with planning an event; I sent emails wishing success in the event
- Third week of June, event they were organizing happens; I get an email saying I should hear by the fourth week in June
- Now: I've followed up, nothing.
I've worked to hire people before, and this is quite obviously insane: two months of interviews with six people, after they say filling the job is a priority and they know I'm right for it, and after contacting all my references. If I was part of that process, I'd be embarrassed. But should I just chalk this up to over caution for a small organization? Or should I cut bait and run, sending them a polite email that I'm removing my candidacy from the job pool (potentially freeing them up to hire whoever else, and maybe actually fill the role that they desperately need filled)?
I really would like to work on the mission of the organization, and I'm 99 percent certain there is no one who's a better fit than I am (this is not bragging; I have done this exact job before, have all the skills, and am willing to take a big pay cut to do it, and it's a mission that's not particularly popular at the moment). But at the same time, maybe it's a bad idea to leave my current, high-paying and stable job to work at an organization that, at least in terms of hiring practices, seems not to know what it's doing, and is spending months filling an important role.
Should I keep considering this job, or should I just send a message in the morning saying that I've decided to stay at my current job? That might be helpful to them, if they are trying to decide between two candidates.
