Company keeping me on the backburner
Hello,
I am interviewing (final round) with 3 different companies. 8-9 days ago, I interviewed with the company I want to work for most, and they said they would get back to me very soon, but I have still not heard back. My guess is they are keeping me on the backburner in the hope that someone better shows up, or maybe they are interviewing someone else.
My hope is that I get an offer from one of the other 2 companies so I can use this as leverage, but obviously that is out of my hands.
How would you guys go about this ? Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
This reads sarcastic, but it's not--What can you really do? Just sit tight and stay courteous and upbeat. Unfortunately it's a waiting game that's also out of your hands.
Did you send a thank you note?
yes. they replied that they would get back to me "as soon as possible, hopefully in the next few days". this was 8 days ago
Might not be what you want to hear, but I think it's helpful. If a firm wants you after a final round, they typically let you know within a few days. Just keep plugging with your other ops. If one of those pans out, you can let Company #1 know about the offer.
Good luck!
I am in a similar position to you. Once I get an offer I will accelerate the process with the others I am waiting to hear back from. They are probably interviewing more people or they have made offers already and waiting to hear back themselves.
Just keep applying and dont get hooked on just a few, it really is a numbers game.
