Quick overview:
Month prior - Phone screen with who would be my direct manager. Day 1 - Interviewed with 3 members of group at the office Day 2 - Recruiter calls, says the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Vaguely mentions salary numbers (IB Associate base), timeline for when I could possibly relocate and proceeds to say I’ll need to talk to a Senior HR person who will ask me fit questions. Then I’ll have to talk to the Head of the group. Recruiter asks me to regroup with him on Day 7. The guy is very vague with everything. Day 3 - Talk to HR. Day 5 - Talk go Head of Group. Day 7 - Call recruiter, no response. Day 8- Speak with recruiter. Asks me how call with Head of Group went. Does not provide any feedback. Says that the “appropriate next step” is that I’ll have to meet with my direct manager who is not located in the home office in NYC. Dude works out of a CT office. Recruiter says that the manager will fly to my current city (the firm has an office there) to have coffee with me or dinner.
The steps in this process seem weird to me. A part of me is freaking out and assuming something went wrong during my call with the Head of the group. I also thought it was weird that I did a fit interview with HR AFTER meeting members of the team.

working people get busy....recruiting/hiring is not their primary job...and they know they can get you whenever they feel like it...so don't expect them to stick to any kind of schedule (note - this is not a 2 way street....you can't take such liberties...they have all the power). Firms routinely take multiple people to the final stages of every interviewing process (because they can)...so you should also be looking for other opportunities...because nothing is guaranteed. This is the dance....you just got to accept that.
This all seems fine
Thanks, I’m probably overreacting

Don't sweat it, this has happend to me twice, given they were for internships, but as mentioned, people get busy and sometimes a new HR policy requires their influence in the proces eventhough it doesn't add crap. I also had a call with group head after superday and only last a call with miss HR lady.
