Hiring manager said “will be in touch” when I checked in for a status update three weeks after my final round interviews for a Director role. Gave me a detailed answer explaining why the delay is due to holidays/vacations; that there are three finalists and one will be chosen. I feel that if the hiring manager can’t give a clear timeline, then I’m not the first choice. Thoughts ? The very detailed response and explanation softened me up a bit but should I read anything into it ?

I don’t think necessarily that means you’re not in the running but I would make sure to set a reminder to check in after holidays/vacation if they have a rough idea (ex. After spring break/Easter). I just now got my decline email :/ after following up 2 weeks after final rounds.

I think if the hiring manager says “will be in touch” they are also saying “don’t call me; I’ll call you”.

It may be they have an offer out to someone , with a time frame to accept and that person hasn’t accepted yet.

Yeah, I think so too. That’s why they are nice to me without giving me an explicit timeline.

She could be dragging out the process so they can interview other candidates…. Or take her email at face value

So I'm interviewing, have had loose salary conversation (talked about band but not specifics), and approaching the official offer stage. It's become clear the role is something I'm very well qualified for, but their pay expectations for the role are much lower than mine. How do I ask if I could be considered for a higher level position in the team in a higher salary band instead?

Apart from research/reviewing questions and answers or going through an interview process. Anyone know if theres a service for help interviewing? I have ideas of what I want to pivot to career wise but I have not interviewed in so long that I’m out of the loop. Thx for your time.
