Yeah I’ve been ghosted by Stripe twice after very positive “this is great we’ll set up next steps” meetings.

One of which was a 1:1 with the CTO, really positive stuff. Few days later I emailed a thanks and “would like to talk about next steps”. Nothing. Sent another a couple weeks later. Nada.

Several months later, got a reach out from a team, said I was interested, and the HM said ok yeah I’ll get you set up. Nothing.

I know I’m not the only one, I know of others who have had similar experiences.

It’s just poor form.

This. This is what I meant with this post above. Poor form. Incompatible with the supposed criticality of the position at stake. I still think Stripe is a great company, was just disappointed at being ignored after all the festivities.
