FOLLOW-UP HELP: 2015 SA, haven't heard back about FT over two months later...?

Hello WSOers -

First post on this site, forgive me if this is isn't in the right location.

I was a summer analyst this year at a BB Asset Management/private banking shop (this was my summer after junior year, I'm now a senior). Unlike my IB counterparts, we do not get last-day offers and so we were told that within the next month we should hear back about full-time offers by phone. It's been two months since the internship ended and I still haven't heard one way or the other from my recruiter about the full-time offer. I'm abroad and contacted my recruiter with my overseas cell phone number, to which he responded, and I emailed again about restrictions on posting to LinkedIn, so we've been in contact and it's not like we've both dropped off the map. I've spoken to my supervisor from the summer as well as with the analyst for whom I mostly worked and neither of them offered any hints.

Other analysts have already heard one way or the other so I know they've been contacting people.

WHAT DO I DO? at first I was anxious that I hadn't heard back and now it's just weird. I'm pursuing other job offers so I'm okay with the extra time but I'd still like to know one way or the other. Even though the summer went really well and I was expecting an offer, at this point I'm prepared for the worst.

Do I: a) Ask the recruiter directly b) Keep emailing the recruiter about tangential subjects, expecting him to volunteer the information eventually c) Email other recruiters from the team d) Ask my analyst or supervisor straight out e) Other???

thanks for your help.

Confused.

Ask the recruiter and if they don't give an answer ask them when they will give you a decision.

You already know this, but you should be pursuing other opportunities by now. It's not a great sign if they've already made offers to others and you haven't heard anything. You might be their alternative offer so perhaps they're waiting to hear back from others.
