"On hold for an offer"

Hello everyone,

2 days after my superday with a bank I received an email saying that I was on hold. Is there anything you would recommend me to do? FYI I've already followed up with the interviewers the day of the interview. I am also waiting on another response with a different bank.

Thanks

They are waiting on an answer from their top candidate. Not much you can do, check in in a week or two and/or if you receive an offer from the other bank.

I was on a waitlist last year when I was recruiting and I got a different offer. I told the bank (when they waitlisted me they said please notify us if you get another offer) and said the other offer was expiring soon and I planned on accepting it unless I received an offer from the waitlist bank. Got an offer from them by the end of the day. They usually hold all the leverage, but if you get another offer they might change their tone.
