I had my final interview at ZS last Monday for a AC position. The recruiter told me I’d know within a week. Crickets so far, but the responses to my thank you notes were very positive sounding. The wait is difficult— is there any hope I’ll get an offer or should I just assume no?

The hiring manager just called telling me they are going to give me an offer 🥳

congrats!

When I interviewed they told me I’d know the next day. I kept following up and received similar responses to you from the recruiters, but didn’t hear a decision for 10+ days. Turns out the Principal that was giving the offer had just gone out on vacation.

Don’t sweat it, you’ll hear either way

AC 1 is right. It takes always more time than expected. May be just an issue of calendars. Don’t read anything into it until you get the final decision.

Yep be patient, decision will definitely come just internal calendars may make timing difficult, the busiest period of the year is now and things come up

HR is 💩 everywhere.

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
