Been looking/applying for over 6 months; recently had a few great interviews. Last interview was yesterday with hiring manager - he stated "you're my 1st choice however have two more to interview". He said he'd let me know by end of day(today) - I haven't heard from him. My gut tells me "bad news", my head tells me "wasn't meant to be".
Thoughts, opinions? Any help?

I dislike it when managers say things like that because it can raise expectations. That said, it hasn’t even been a full day yet. I’d recommend sending a follow-up email before assuming the worst. Hopefully, you receive positive news soon.

Thanks - i'm on the fence with sending a message since I sent one the same day as my last interview. A head-scratcher situation.

Even under best-case scenarios, it can take a bit for them to get back in touch with you. Here is hoping you hear back soon, but always try to manage your expectations. I agree, they shouldn’t really give hope like that because there are just so many unknown factors.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
