The internal recruiter at a large bank followed up after the 3rd round for an analyst position to let me know I’m the top candidate but they still need to finish the process of getting management to sign off. They also wanted to make sure they still had my interest and closed the job posting. Good sign or don’t get my hopes up yet?

Good sign but potentially your pay expectation might be out of their approved range. Good for now, but you maybe find it difficult to get pay hikes.

Good sign. Banks take longer than people think, there's quite a bit of red tape.

Very positive sign. You are most likely getting an offer. Comp and/or title may be the issue.

Great sign. Likely getting approval for your salary ask

It’s 50/50 at this point. Or a little worse. Nothing is secure until all responsible managers have signed off on the funding, and that’s never guaranteed. Also, the manager who told you that you were the front runner can now use “sorry, no sign off” as a comfortable excuse if someone else they like better is found in the interim. They will feel no obligation toward you. So keep looking and don’t burn any bridges.

That's a good sign. If you ever consider the offer, there could be a possibility that they won't meet your salary expectation. But you can always try.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
