Already followed up, no response, what to do?

I had a superday with BAML last Wednesday. The last interviewer said I would hear back from them Friday or next Monday so I emailed both HR and the group head for result this Monday but had no response. I know at this point I probably have to wait but wonder if anyone had experience like this and what did you do?

UPDATE: Called on Monday and got no answer. Have not gotten a response to my voicemail in two days now.

Im somewhat confused as i assume that if i have been denied i would have gotten a rejection email by now.

What do you guys think?

Im guessing one of the following has happened:

-They interviewed another candidate and extended an offer to them, keeping me on hold until they formally accept -They are planning on preparing me an offer but havent got around to doing it yet -They went with another candidate and just dont want to respond to me for whatever reason

 

I experienced something very similar to this last year (was strung along for several weeks after superday that included a pretty comprehensive case) and ultimately got dinged. It is a pretty shitty feeling while you're waiting but honestly the best thing to do is to not get your hopes up and just keep interviewing as if you never had the super day. Don't stop until there is an offer letter in front of you.

 

The one interviewer who followed up with me didn't give me an offer.

The 3 others who did not respond to my thank you note gave me offers.

There is nothing to be read into here, just ignore it.

No rhyme or reason. Some firms have HR departments that instruct employees NOT to respond after interviews. Lessens potential liabilities.
