Got invited to coffee by a MBB partner after wrapping up decision round interviews. This is a good sign right? No mention of offer yet

hard to tell from the context as he could always be asking you to coffee so he can pour it on you as he laughs in your face and rejects you

Great advice, will follow. Thanks!! I’ll update everyone after, hopefully good news!

It clearly means they’re going to ghost you at agreed upon date/time. It’s how MBB breaks the news now. You haven’t heard?

I don’t have much more context, partner wanted to get to know me a bit more via coffee that’s all.

I didn’t ask about the offer since it was probably deliberately vague

Op remember, coffee at a partners house, means “coffee"

hot coffee

Update: no official offer yet. Still awaiting confirmation regarding hiring needs but said all of the interviewers enjoyed meeting me

I guess the waiting game continues but still in the running!
