Is PEPI recruiting unusually slow or should I just assume silence means rejection?

Context - I submitted my application and HR initiated an outreach in Jan 2026. I did my HR screen about 12 days ago and there has been pin drop silence from the recruiter's end. I messaged on Jobvite (as I don't have their email) and no response from their end. They did tell me that they would get back in a week but just want to be sure.

Have been formally referred by an employee in the same PEPI group.

Which group within PEPI?

which region and level?

It was slow for me. Took me from mid Jan initial recruiter outreach to end of April written offer. ~4 interviews in between that time period

Reach out to your referrer and have them check.

Hi, I’m a tax professional but want to transition into a coding role such as bot coder and artificial intelligence. I’m really advanced with Excel and Alteryx, I even can create macros for my team and considered the technology rockstar. Do you recommend any certifications such as UIpath for my future career change? I’d also be interested in how to work for Google someday coding artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Hi. Lawyer of around 8 years (both big law and inhouse experience). Finally decided to accept the sunk costs as I have never been happy with my job.

After doing some serious soul searching, I want to pivot into SWE/web development. Preferably full stack. Only on point experience is having built 3 personal websites in Wordpress = nothing but something that shows my passion?

Going to try for the bootcamp path. But, would love to speak to some SWEs. I think 70% of my network is lawyers.

Hi, just got an offer from A&M as D (Performance Improvement). The base from Glassdoor is accurate (US as a benchmark). Bonus is much higher than my current. Anyway the base seems very low compared to S& SA in US.
1) is it true that the base is that low compared to junior-mid level at S&?
2) i am based in Asia, any different rate compared to other region at A&M?
3) the TC can be 3x that what I can get currently, but i can make partner in few years at PwC. Do you think A&M should be considered?

Ran out of time to write the MD email at the end of PEPI interview, but explained what I would write. Do you think it might be a ding because of that? I know I will find out soon, but anxiety is over the roof and hence this message.
