Need advice: have been interviewing for a strat role. Did a case in late December. Someone left the team in new year so they have to reevaluate their org structure. Recruiter and director keep reaching out to confirm interest and just spoke to director. They won’t have an answer for 2-3 weeks now but still like me. Job is still open on LinkedIn. Are they going to hire me or not?

If you don’t have an exploding offer, you don’t have leverage to ask them to make a decision soon. That said, I think it’s a good sign that they reached out to confirm interest. My boss did that before he hired me, but he only sped up when I told him I had an exploding offer. Keep looking!

They’re keeping you “warm” on purpose bc they like you. Source: I do this a lot as a hiring manager when internal things get in the way of the hiring process like reorgs, calendars not aligning for other interviewers on the panel, etc. It doesn’t mean anything that the job posting is still up.

Agree with Manager 1. Also some postings are just set up for a certain period of time and sometimes auto-repost. That part doesn’t mean anything

Thanks for the advice all!!

They reply with just “you own the roadmap” and quite frankly I feel like they don’t know what they’re doing (they both don’t have domain expertise either). Am I being set up for failure?
