Had finals with a firm last week. The HM emailed me thanking me for meeting with the extended leadership team and is asking if I had 30 mins to catch up tomorrow positive or negative sign?

Not over yet. Spoke with him he had 2 clarification questions from one of the senior members regarding my experience in two areas. Said overall feedback extremely positive they definitely think I would be a value add in the role. And he said he will be back in touch in the next couple days.

I’d say positive. The last time that happened to me was, the recruiter was calling to give me a heads up that they would be sending out a formal offer letter.

Yeah this is the hiring manager who is the CIO so my guess is it is a good thing.

Almost always equal an offer is going to be made.

Why would you think this could be a negative?

Great question I have been through different hiring processes with a few firms over the past 6-9 months. I have seen a lot of things I perceived as positive but turned out negative. I am optimistic and this "30min catch up with the HM" was new to me.

update met an additional board member last week. HR just emailed me that she spoke with the hiring manager and he is planning to call me Monday and asked for availability has to be good sign right?
