I applied to two competitors in industry. One company emailed me the next day to setup an interview. The second company looked at my linked in profile, but hasn't yet reached out. Is that a bad sign? It's only been about a week, and my application still shows as being considered for the role.

I would just keep looking. You may miss the perfect opportunity waiting for people who aren’t great at updating their hiring portal.

Could be. Could be not.

some companies take longer than others

Not really but I would definitely keep applying.

Could be one of two things
1. hiring manager is out of town an unable to review or move you forward

2. Pipeline is full and they’re going through their first batch of shortlisted candidates before doing another round.

3. They passed on you.

That said - everyone is looking for public accounting experience right now (myself included) so I’m sure you’ll find more opportunities to apply to as you go along . . Let me know what market you’re looking in!
