Got an interview for a job with a company I like but the original posting is now gone and I can’t remember the specifics to prep for the interview. Is it a bad look to ask for the job description?

No, it’s ok to ask for one and say you want to prepare to highlight your experience as most relevant to the job description. Also important for you- I’ve messed up interviews before because I didn’t have a job description and thus didn’t know how I was being evaluated.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?
