Been waiting over a month to hear back from this job I applied for. Normally I would have moved on but they have continued to assure me through multiple emails that an updated would be provided soon. So because they keep updating me, Im wondering - what can I expect?

Could be wrong, but it feels like you’re the backup they want to keep on the rope while they work through a conflict or back and forth with the first choice.

I’m sorry that’s so crappy to do that to someone. I’d move on. (Although I personally use pessimism as a defense mechanism to stay sane). If you get another offer you could tell them your deadline if you’d still prefer them, but I’d keep looking.

If you don't even have an offer I would keep that ball rolling and keep sending out apps. Sucks but so much has changed in the last few weeks and you don't want to be even more behind in your job search if things don't pan out
