I interviewed at UM Worldwide for a Manager, Connections Planning role. 1st round was HR, then an EVP and finally Director, Connections Planning. All the interviews went well but there have been no updates for almost 3 weeks. Followed up with HR and they said they’d get to me in a week but they never did. Any insights on this! Do they take long to get back to you after interviews or should I consider myself out of this one? Was really looking forward on working on the client! TIA

Not as familiar with UM, but lived this situation a few times. Happens often. I’d look at other options if I were you. Any firm worth joining will make an offer within 10 days.
