I finished a final round interview almost three weeks ago. I followed up with the recruiter last week (Monday) and he said they were still finishing final rounds with the remaining candidates and I should hear back soon. I still haven’t heard anything, should I give up hope?

Why follow up, it shouldn’t take this long for a decision. Either they are indecisive about the role, could have internally filled it or may not be the right fitment. Why wait, just move on and continue your hunt, it takes time patience and perseverance.. there is light at the end of the tunnel, always 🙌

That’s good advice, thank you! Just dreading going through another process, but onwards!

Give up. It feels good. I now lay on the couch with no stress or anxiety

I’m in a similar boat. Agree that the best path is to give up. Stress goes away.

Yes. Why would you even want to work anywhere that takes 3 weeks to get back to you.

This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?
