I was interviewed at EY UK on 7th Sep. It was quite smooth. Since then I haven't heard anything back from them though interviewer claimed SLA to get back with outcome of interview is 48 hours. On portal it still says I'm in hiring team phase. It was level 1 interview.
Should I take this delay as rejection?

Phrased another way: “If I take this lifeboat, does that mean I won’t be able to get back on the sinking ship?”
So true!
Agencies stopped reaching out to me about roles because they can’t compete on comp.
They try to make up for that with “cool work” but I don’t see a lot of agencies that are doing good work anymore.
Generally though, I found these posts odd. The goal should be to go brand side why would you want to go back to an agency (unless you own it)?
Maybe it’s just me but I found agencies to be extremely political, and dysfunctional. Brand side isn’t exactly nirvana but the pay is streets ahead and you don’t have to deal with client BS.
Clients don’t respect agencies anymore, and agency leadership has no desire to stand up to clients. Idk why anyone who doesn’t have to would want to be in that environment. Seriously please educate me.
The heart wants what the heart wants. And apparently what it wants is those bean bag chairs the agency bought in 2005 and the water-ringed foosball table whispering for you to come home. It is a quaint dilemma when you think about it. Of course, everyone will be remote in five years or replaced by AI, so savor these precious little moments of indecision. Soon we’ll all be taking whatever work we can get just to afford our monthly government stipend of nutritional pellets, issued after Big Daddy Trump finally tanks the economy, declares martial law, and rebrands groceries as a members-only perk for anyone willing to pay into his inner-circle paywall.
Take the money!
I've noticed people bouncing back and forth. I imagine in-house is a little more stable, a little less exciting working on one brand. Seems to be the same group of people going from in-house back to agency back to in-house, so I think we live in a different time now.
