That’s not thaaaat long. Did you already send all your thank you notes, and a followup to the recruiter?

If you’ve done that and not heard from recruiter give them another .5 week and followup with the recruiter asking if they can provide a timing update or any feedback from your meetings.

Yeah totally agree not that long for them to all regroup, that’s why it’s a potential 👻 alert not an official ghosting 😁

Update, OP?

Yes heard back just before Thanksgiving...was told I was “#1 candidate” but they “just want to make sure” and vet some “late candidates” through the holidays. So, wishy-washy non-committal nonsense. 🙄

Yeah it’s lame regardless

Completed onsite interviews for the TAM role and recruiter gave me feedback that my technical depth wasn’t up to par for the role but my googleness/leadership and GCA interview feedback was stellar so they plan to propose me for Cloud PM roles instead. Does this happen? Or are they just being nice? What’s the probability that they’ll match me to another role?

Hey, I received a verbal offer from EY for a role as manager, which was quite a low ball offer. I had received another offer from a different firm and I informed EY HR about it.

I have not got a response from her yet on the mails, should I contact the hiring partner directly? other firm is asking me to update as well.
