Normal for lateral process to go +2 months?
This may be a dumb question. I just haven't lateraled before so only really know what campus recruiting was like. ASO at a non-NYC BB, talking with a NYC EB through a headhunter. Had a first round early August, went well, got an email 2 weeks later that they want to do a second round and that their group COO who was on vacation is going to schedule it. Then radio silence, with occasional messages from the headhunter that he's talking with the COO and group head to schedule it
The thing is, it's been 2 months now and no news usually isn't good news, but they haven't straight up said no. I have been in a number of processes this summer that didn't work out and they got back to me fairly quickly that they went in another direction. I don't think it takes 2 months to schedule a 2nd round, and I also kind of figured if they weren't interested then they never would have mentioned the 2nd round at all and would have just called it quits then.
Is this normal? I've kind of mentally detached from this one given the time that's elapsed, if it happens it happens, but is this just how these things work?
Yes, having been on the other side now the fact is that 1. Recruiting takes time and massive time constraint on mid-levels who run the process (especially if HR doesn't know what good candidates look like and we gotta select ourselves) 2. seniors are indecisive as hell and will want like a round for this a round for that a round with this person an in person round etc etc 3. Dumbasses using AI interview helpers strain everything and waste everyones time, especially late stage when u bring people in and realize they actually don't know shit, dragging processes along further.
How long do you think it would normally take from the very first interview / coffee chat to the final offer for a lateral move in the current market?
How blatantly are people using interview helpers?
