Applied 7/8, did the virtual job tryout same day, heard from recruiter on 7/15 asking to confirm some questions + workday status changed to In Progress - Interview but no next steps yet :(

 

Intern. Confused on why I got ghosted so long since I was invited to apply by a recruiter who established contact through a joint event done with a consulting club at my target. Obviously still have a ways to go and still gonna be a reach to get this, but pissed reading other threads on other sites that with this delay, hiring has already finished up for a lot of people and that Chicago/NYC are already full (leaving only McLean, Richmond, and Plano). 

 

I got my offer like 2 months ago and Chicago + NY weren't even options for some reason - only McLean or Plano. I do think there was some sort of internal team matching as my offer seemed to have a team name (still not sure if it was however) since I have a heavily technical background. In fact the others I heard getting offers around the time I did were all heavily technical in background + top schools

Process: Applied day app opened -> got referral 2 days after -> codesignal assessment (~1-2 weeks after) -> prep session & power day (2 weeks after), offer (3 days after)

Background: 3.6, target school, 2 analytics internships (f500, startup), multiple clubs + consulting projects
