I've had a few promising interviews recently (some first and some second rounds), but I'm now a few weeks out and haven't heard anything back. I've even left a couple of follow-up voicemails. Is this silence a sign of a bad outcome, or is it common for the hiring process to take this long?

If you've gotten a few interviews you're not doing too badly, that alone is an achievement these days. But it's frustrating not hearing back and it usually does indicate a bad outcome. Companies used to be more professional and let people know when they'd been rejected, now all too often they simply ghost people.

Doesn't sound great to me unfortunately. A week or two without any followup does happen on occasion, but if they're serious about making you an offer, it really shouldn't take them any longer than that to reach out or at least respond to your followups. I'd probably send one more just in case, but mentally I'd be moving on.

Was just in this same boat, got several interviews and silence, then all of a sudden round 2’s, then thankfully responses, one denial, 2 offers and the one I wanted still hasn’t said yes or no. In the interim I’ve accepted an offer and will stand by my word even though I wanted the one with no travel. Follow up yourself and make sure you’re thanking them for their time as your lead in.

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !
