Is it a bad sign that I haven't heard back from the interview I had three weeks ago?

It depends. Have you tried following up? Some companies take forever to make a decision. I wouldn’t say three weeks is not all that long but I guess it’s not a great sign either.

Did they tell you how long it would take for them to get back to you? Three weeks isn't unheard of, but it's not a great sign. Send them a follow up and then cross your fingers that you get a response.

Yes and no. I mean Geico was about a month and 3 weeks in-between each interview & panel interview then decided "to go with someone's who's skills better fot their current vision." Ive noticed that if it's more than a month & no word move on.

Ah yes, the good old “someone who’s more qualified” line. I
know in my case it is in reality” the hiring manager, whom you will not be assigned to, just doesn’t like you personally.”

Did they tell you when a decision would be made? Did you send them a thank you email and/or follow up email?
Just because it has been three weeks since your interview does not mean you have not moved on to the next step as the hiring manager just could be still interviewing, looking at additional candidates, out of the office, the recruiter could be just too busy to get back to you, the recruiter could have forgotten, the recruiter could be ill trained, or the recruiter could be lazy and does not really care to do the job professionally.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
