What’s the longest you’ve gone without hearing back from a company you’re interviewing where you still got the job or progressed to the next stage?

It’s been about a week and a half and crickets so far. Wondering if I need to mentally write it off already or if there’s still hope.

Around 1.5 months during Covid recruiter came with a final round and I got the offer after that and ended up joining
Around 1 year but that was a different application and recruiter called me to check ( this was the good old times in tech 2018 ) yes a cold application was viewed a year latter . The process was slow for 2017/18 standards but got the job .

It was a month for me, but I already wrote them off and started interviewing with other companies. A month later I received a call and didn’t even remember who they were lol…

nevertheless they called and left me a voicemail about the offer and I had to review my emails to make sense of who they were.

I did accept the offer, and the rest is history. However, you’re currently in far more treacherous waters with the market now.

My network has been significantly complaining of getting ghosted, strung along, positions being canceled, and offers rescinded. At this point I wouldn’t believe a company until you received the offer letter, background clears, and start date.

At least by this point if they did decide to rescind you have legal rights to recover loss wages.

3 months with no hearing back from the HR, no calls , no email replies.
