What’s the longest amount of time an interview process has taken for you? I haven't heard back from a company I was interviewing with and it's been nearly two weeks. Trying to gauge if what I’m going through is normal or if I’m just never going to hear back…

3 months and 22 interviews at Goldman bro...don't sweat 2 weeks

likefunny

Meet with 22 ppl over 3 different rounds

It can be normal unfortunately

3 months

Going through the same situation at the moment…

Just went through an interview process that took 2.5 months from first interview to offer being accepted. I would say 2 weeks may be too soon to tell. Have you followed up or heard anything?

I went for a government job and took over a year. Another place took 2 months and I am assuming because the person they picked didn’t work out as they were urgently hiring.

Depends on the size of the firm. I’ve seen processes wrap up on 3-4 weeks. And I’ve also had a friend from GS who’s interviews lasted almost 3-4 months (September ‘21 to January ‘22) before receiving the offer. I’ll caveat by saying they were at least communicative in terms of updates.

But when I was recruiting for FT, I never heard back from many firms for over 4-6 weeks, and then 8 weeks later they’d reach out with info on next steps and I’d tell them I’ve already accepted an offer elsewhere.

Don't worry about 2 weeks unless they specifically told you that you'd have heard back by then.
The hiring firm are most probably undertaking other interviews alongside their current day to day work.
Good luck.

6 months

6 months… and numerous itws

About 5 with Capital One. Took them more than 2 months to schedule my super day. Still didn’t get the invitation when I got other offers and decided to accept one of them. A friend of mine also interviewed with them for like 7 months, she got the offer and accepted in the end.

I've been job hunting for a while now, and have yet to secure anything. I've made it through to the writing test a few times but haven't succeeded.

I'm pretty new out of college, but I'm in Atlanta and I feel like there aren't tons of entry-level positions in the area. Any tips for a new professional? Not sure how to level up my approach to job hunting, but I feel like there's always something I can do.
