Working directly with partner from a tier 2 consulting firm (no HR contact), about a role. I've been through two rounds of interviews and a third meeting to discuss compensation. Haven't heard since the last meeting. Is this a bad sign? How much time should I wait before following up again? - if I should follow up. Thank you.

Thanks P1, heard back this morning to set up a time to chat later. Wish me good luck!

Good luck!

Ok, afternoon is half done and no response ...

Feeling ghosted

Clients do that some time too. It's not very respectful, but it is what it is.

Thank you P1, I think I'll take this as a red flag or an unspoken response, depending on which way it goes.

If they get back to you in a day or two an apologize, I don't think it's a red flag. People go on vacation, things happen, etc. But straight up ghosting isn't professional.

I think if it's a day I could still work with that, but I will need to respond to others by two days and this timeline has been communicated three times. I guess that's why I'm in a rush.

I don't panic OP. I'm sure they are aware of your timelines. It's coming and happening; just a lot to do. You have a bad case of nerves. Do some yoga.

Hi Fishers,
I have a interview with PWC for the Global Aura technical engineer, can you advise what can I expect with regards to the work been assigned for this particular role.

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team. In addition, my director said I will be receiving 'deep delegation' from them. I don't mind more work, but deep delegation is a new term I've never heard. What does that mean lol?
