Had a call back last week through an internal referral. The referral asked the recruiting department when I could expect an answer last Friday. They were told by the recruit that they “ hope to have answers” for this past Monday. I still haven’t heard anything. I’m desperate to leave my current firm. Any experience on what this could mean?

It probably means they are doing conflicts checks or some other firm bureaucracy thing. Give it time and follow up at the end of the week.

Exactly. My current firm took solidly 3 weeks after the third interview to make me an offer.

Be patient. Firms take time for final decision

Most likely a partner was out sick and they haven’t had a chance to all meet to discuss your candidacy. Equally, it could mean they have other interviews scheduled and they aren’t able to make a decision yet.
It’s never a no until you hear no. Keep submitting to other firms and keep your head up!

Honestly, yes, likelihood does decrease, but it doesn’t mean they won’t move forward. Send me a dm, let’s talk through your search, and maybe I can offer an idea or two for you.
