Every job I’ve landed, they typically give you the green light in a day or two. It’s swift. If they want you, they nab you.

Sorry if this sounds blunt but I’ve been on this side also - prolonged periods, I believe, is the hiring managers way of saying we have a good candidate but will wait for our first choice to come back to us then offer it to the next.

Rarely is it tied to a prospective client coming on board. It’s normally a guaranteed new piece of business that’s won that they initiate the search. Therefore no need to dilly-dally.

Hi guys, I am looking for a change after 11 years serving in the current organization. I have total 13 yrs exp. with only 13 LPA as I am in the same organization and didn't switch. With EY in the HR discussion they stated 19.4 LPA fixed, but I requested for 20 LPA fixed (though the difference is not much). The HR stated they may need to take approvals and the call ended. Do you know whether they will come back? How many days usually it takes HR to come back? It's the 3rd day almost.

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work). I finally asked a colleague about it today because I’m concerned about my Director. She confirmed that she’s noticed the same over the last few years, but no one ever says anything. In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?
