Applied to a position at Grant Thornton. I was one of their first talent phone screens. Went well, she mentioned I was a strong fit. She mentioned she hoped to be able to get back to me in a week, but was still early in the process. She mentioned that at any time I could feel free to ask any questions. I sent a thank you note after our call. I didn’t hear anything for a week so I followed up a day after the week mark. It’s for a director levelcorporate role, not a consulting role, is this normal

Totally normal for a director-level role. The timeline they gave was an estimate, not a guarantee—internal scheduling and approvals can take longer than expected. You’ve done everything right (thank you note + polite follow-up). Give it another few days, then check in again if needed. No news isn’t bad news yet!
