Agency I’d love to work at reached out to me out of the blue. Had one interview and then it’s been radio silence for two weeks. Should I stop holding out hope?

Wait another week. Follow up. See if they answer.

Don’t wait, reach out ASAP (during working hours) to check in and be nonchalant about it. Unless they specifically said it’s going to take a few weeks to get back to you, 2 weeks is a long time not to hear back at least about scheduling another interview or letting you know the status. Could be the recruiter dropped the ball on your update email or a multitude of other things, either way youve waited long enough.

Follow up if you haven’t already, but don’t lose hope yet. Lots of people on PTO at this time of year so things might take longer.

They might be interviewing other candidates. Two weeks may feel like a lifetime as an interviewee but things just move slowly on their end too.

Give it a couple more days then send a follow up / check in.

Happens to everyone, all the time. I’ve been in the biz a while now, have a shload of rejection emails saved in their own folder. Work on your portfolio, your interview skills, etc. but mostly move on. If you’re really into that agency, keep track of them and hit up that recruiter later on down the road.

Hi all, recently a recruiter from Amazon reached out for an SDE 2(2+ years of exp. required) role and I'm a recent CS grad. I gave the OA (which was extremely difficult w/ 99% cut-off) and other tasks related to the OA. A few hours back, I got a call from the recruiter that I had cleared the assessment and tasks and said that they are looking for 2+ years of exp. I said I'm open to the SDE1 role and said she'll ask her colleagues. Idk what to expect now 😥 Amazon Amazon India

Hello Fishes,

I had given interview
Mindtree and cleared both technical rounds. On Tuesday 29 March 2022, I got a call from HR for the final discussion. After that I have not received any response.

I have been calling the HR and her manager, both are not responding to mail or calls.

Is there a way to get some information if my candidature is still in progress or is this delay natural? I have another offer from another company, but am more interested in joining Mindtree.

Has anyone ever been leveled down after reaching offer committee? I was told that I interviewed strongly and was being placed at L6 but once I was presented before the committee their feedback was that since 1 of the interviewers didn’t ask specific questions of me that they’d expect for L6 - I could either proceed as L5 or conduct 2 additional interviews to still be evaluated at L6. Can someone share their experience with anything similar? I am being considered for both PgM and TPM roles.

I received an email from the HR at Monitor Deloitte that I've cleared the case round and a back to back discussion with partner and director of the team will be scheduled.
