Completed final round interview at FAANG last month and was told that if all looks well with headcount on 10/01, they will reach out on my status. After I reached out on Friday on headcount update, if HR doesnt respond after few days should I not follow up anymore and move on or follow up once more even if they dont respond?

Annoy them to death. It’s just HR and you have nothing to lose

Thank you guys for the responses. How should I frame the follow up as in should I ask if I should stop following up since headcount approvals doesn't seem to be promising this year or whether there is an ETA that I should follow up again, etc.. any thoughts from anyone?

Hey folks - your comments have been encouraging and I plan on following up sometime soon even though I followed up last week on Friday. Should I follow up today or tomorrow since it might be wise to add in a buffer of a few days in between..help!

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
