Are companies/ firms taking up to a month or more before deciding their new hire these days? I’ve had two close people that this happened to. I interviewed at two firms, one of which I made to the final round and yet I haven’t heard back in 2.5 weeks. No communication whatsoever. I’m continuing my job search but this is…not a good look. I rather receive a rejection email than to be ghosted or put on hold with no communication. Please let me know if anyone experienced the same issue
