I've seen more of this in the past year than ever before. My assumption is always that it's a ghost job. The fact you actually interviewed means the one you applied to might be the rare exception where the HM is just taking their sweet, sweet time in making a decision.

You make a good point though. It probably isn’t a pure ghost job since there was an actual interview process.
It's common, it normal. There's a ton happening behind the scenes. Many reasons including, hire freeze, others getting let go or repositioned within the company, budget analyzing, etc. Reach out to the company and figure out what's going on. Cause there's also a chance that someone forgot to reach out to u

Haha that's true. There really can be a lot happening behind the scenes that candidates never see. And you’re right, sometimes it’s not that deep. Could just be a delay or someone dropping the ball.
My first thought is that it's a ghost job. Some companies just post them because they think it looks good to appear to be hiring, even if they're not. It's also possible that things are somehow delayed. A lot of organizations have put plans on hold because of the chaotic economy, so it's conceivable they're slow walking everything.

That’s kind of my first thought too. Ghost postings seem way more common lately. But the slow-walking explanation also feels realistic with how uncertain things are. Either way, it’s tough not to overthink it when we are the one waiting.

I think it’s pretty common. Wouldn’t read into it too much.

Who knows. Too much to speculate.
I think that its a sign that the management at this company cannot get their act together and agree on who to hire.
We're qualified for those jobs, don't ever doubt yourself. It's the job market now- low hire low fire. They terminated 92,000 jobs last month but says thousands of jobs were added. The math not mathing. Just keep applying hopefully something gives. Meanwhile unwind & enjoy your weekend everyone. Let's recoup & pick up laptops/tablet on Monday.
