Nailed all the interviews including great feedback from hiring VP on the final round who said I should expect to hear on next steps shortly. Later found out another candidate is being offered the role. Should I connect with the VP and let them know I was looking forward to working with them and maybe keep me in mind for future roles.

The other candidate might say no.

You should. I did that one time because you never know. You should say something like "While I'm disappointed it didn't work out you are still greatly interested in future opportunities" Also wish them luck with the new hiring. I did that and got a response from MD and VP. It sucks but maybe it wasn't meant to be...

Yep. But don’t say “maybe”.

Yes. Follow up. Agree w SC1👆🏾 too drop “maybe”.

You could wait in case they decline

like

Yes. Delete the “maybe”.

Wait until the other candidate accepts. They may come to you next if that candidate declines, and you don't want them to feel awkward about that (like, "we all know I was not your preferred choice!")

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
