If an industry employer told me they would make a decision within 7-10 days of my interview, and yesterday was the 10th day but I didn’t hear anything. Is it safe to assume I did not get the job?

Are you counting weekend days? 😅 just kidding. To your point, don’t assume. Wait until Tuesday (give them Monday to kick off the week) and send a polite email checking on your application. If they don’t reply, it wouldn’t have been worth working for such culture

Yup

No, not safe to assume that.

Some recruiters are crappy about getting back. Follow up on Tuesday or Wednesday.

They could require an extra step of approval given the Covid situation - that’s why my decision took longer than usual

Thanks everyone. I will follow-up tomorrow afternoon for an update. I’ve been concerned with this one because I connected really well with the hiring manager, but he alluded to potential disgruntlement amongst the ranks since some with twice my experience would report to me, and they also applied for the role internally. But the hiring manager did not think they are fit for the role, but he has to weigh the consequences of those individuals quitting as a result. It is what it is I guess.
