I interviewed for citi and its been 2 weeks since my last interview. I followed up with the recruiter via mail last week and this week again, no response. I pinged my last interviewer over LinkedIn and he said he isn’t the hiring manager and thus doesn’t have any details. The Hiring Manager is the director for this team but I didn’t interact with him so far. I heard that citi HR takes a lot of time even for offers. But I am scared as this role really aligns a lot with my career aspirations.

Contacting the recruiter twice already is plenty. Don’t try to get in touch with other interviewers—they have a recruiter because they want an intermediary. Hiring managers don’t have time to go back and forth with every interview candidate.

Hiring always takes longer than people think.

Agreed! Just that the wait is so difficult! Also i read someone that if its been 2 weeks, it mostly means a rejection. Thats what is scaring me. But then, i also hear that citi is supposedly slow in terms of hiring. 🙁

The wait IS difficult! It’s torture.

That stat isn’t true. But also, even if it’s a rejection, hounding them for an answer won’t change that fact. My best advice is to mentally move on from a job as soon as the interview is over. I pretend I didn’t get it and keep moving. If it comes back around, great.

If you don’t get a response in a week after last interview usually its bad news. There are exceptions but you should mot count on it. Move on, you ll find an even better job

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.
