Need advice: currently unemployed. got laid off last week. still applying and interviewing daily but can’t get over this one opportunity. the process has dragged on for a really long time. had a convo with the COO 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back sense. I’ve emailed HR and the COO but no response. I feel I’ve been ghosted but at the same time I’m still holding onto hope that they maybe have a slow process.

Never put all your eggs in one basket. I would apply to other companies with similar or better opportunities and see what happens, if they message you before the other companies you applied to get to you then great but if not then that’s their loss. You’d be denying yourself even greater potential by waiting around for their response. Good luck!

Yea I’m still interviewing but I would prefer if I could get this job so I can stop

Assuming this is a small/medium sized startup, my assumption is they are trying to figure out what to do in this market with this role and others hence the delay in response.

Large companies like Google will take their time but a small/mid-size should get back to you very soon if they are interested. Good luck!

What do you guys think?? I usually get a sense of if I bombed interviews so I’m not surprised if I get ghosted. But for this job I really felt like the convo went well and I would hear back.

The lack of response is a strong indicator that they are going in a different direction. Try to ascertain what you liked about the role and seek similar ones.

You may wish to reframe your expectations; I've seen people with average talent get placed in a new role within a day, and at the other end of the spectrum I've seen a stellar candidate not be able to land a new role in 6 months.

There's probably an element of self reflection you can do to figure out why your last role didn't work out and figure out how to use that to avoid the same scenario in your next position.

Best of luck!
