Tell them you’re interested but in the interest of transparency are actively speaking with other companies and would appreciate if you’re able to speak sooner; if not, here’s your availability.

You can push anyone you’re interviewing with to schedule sooner based on interviewing around. They all expect you are.

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested.

I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
