Interview feedback tends to be pretty sparse. Often you don&amp;#x27;t hear anything back unless you got the job. Even if you do get a &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; response it will be light on details (and it&amp;#x27;s usually this way due to legal concerns).

It&amp;#x27;s the first i&amp;#x27;ve heard of this strategy, and interviews are a big fear of mine. I would have assumed most of these &amp;quot;pay for feedback&amp;quot; things to be scams in one way or another. Thoughts?</text></comment>
