So I had a final round for an internal opportunity at my company, and got the note below from the MD, do you think this means I have a good shot at getting the job or it’s just a generic reply?

Thanks for the note, XXX. It was nice to meet you. We really appreciate your time and and taking the interest to explore a role on our team. We’ll be in touch regarding next steps.

I’ve got one even more convincing/specific than that before in which I thought I was guaranteed the job. Didn’t get it. Doesn’t mean this individual is hiding anything though. Good luck!

Definitely maybe. I just had someone last week tell me once the interview was over “you’ll definitely be moving on to the next round.” Got the rejection email two hours later.

We live in a society where we strive to be polite, at least in person, above all else.

This is awful

Agree with everyone here. I've been there myself only to get the "we appreciate you, we'll keep you on file for future opportunities" message a little later. Give them a minute and if you don't hear back reach out. I've even asked fir a time frame in which I should expect an answer by.

Doesn't mean anything - not good not bad

Done enough of these to know it’s meaningless. Good luck, however!

Imo sounds promising. MD’s in my experience wouldn’t suggest next steps if they weren’t looking to move forward. Good luck

OP, please give us the update!!! Hopefully it was good news!

I feel kind of bad, but I truly despise the idea of working in risk now. ( My friend who's in the role right now hates it)

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.

Is this okay?
