I had, I thought, a nice in-person interview at Major Tech Co, but they kept stringing me along for weeks afterwords about how they were still "gathering feedback". Now they've stopped responding to my emails. How hard is it to just say "no thanks"?

You gave them the wrong message. Always interview at several firms, always tell each that you're also interviewing at the others. Let them know that there's a window of opportunity to hire you that's closing. It must be a competition over a precious resource.

If you give them weeks to hire you, and they string you along, it might mean they are also interviewing other candidates to fill their Head Count. (What an ugly phrase.) The more you make yourself appear like a precious/rare person, they more they will respect and value you.

This applies to basically any of the major tech companies. If they feel that company X up the road is going to hire you too, they'll want you more. Never give a company weeks to figure out if they're going to hire you. Move on after a few days max.

I would've been happy to tell them to take a hike after the second time they told me they'd be in touch within
$rand(2, 5) days and didn't, but that's risky to do if you don't have any other offers yet.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
If they play games like this, they don't *really* want you. I would drop them immediately by politely saying goodbye and move on. Your salary/stock/etc. negotiation won't go well if they think you need them.
