Had a second round interview with an agency in early Feb. HR followed up the next week to let me know they were finishing discussions, would regroup on next steps, and to let them know if anything changed on my end.

I’ve not heard from them since, despite following up two weeks ago.

Is this normal? Have they found a preferred candidate or is the role not open anymore?

Assume you didn’t get the gig and keep looking. In this market, pls don’t sit around waiting while other opportunities pass you by. Best case scenario — they finally get back to you but you’ve got another offer.

Odds are they’re waiting on an acceptance from their 1st choice or have already hired them.

If you reach out, do so as if you’re the ONLY candidate though. But know that agencies are rude AF these days so don’t expect a response.

Otherwise, SC1 above has the correct game plan. Good luck.

I used to be really bad about not prioritizing my prayer life. But now I pray & talk to God all the time. I’ve seen what prayer does-it can change the trajectory of your life. God tells us to make our prayers & petitions known to Him & to pray without ceasing. What happens when we pray is absolutely incredible.The Holy Spirit within us interprets our groans & our prayers to our advocate Jesus Christ who petitions God the Father on our behalf. The perfect triune God hears my prayers and yours!

Hello,fishes!(1YOE-SDET)
I'm trying to attend several interviews. My current CTC is <10LPA, therefore even if I switch jobs and am offered a package that is 40%–50% higher than my current CTC, my new income won't be much higher than 12LPA–13LPA. However, I am on the lookout for even better ones. So, if there is a negotiation, can I mention to HR that I already have an offer of at least 12 lpa and persuade them to give me more? Will this ruse succeed? Or will they demand to show an offer letter?
