Fucked up in hiring process for taking too long in replying to MD
***posting on behalf of my girlfriend***
Hi Guys,
I am interviewing for an Associate position for a prestigious bank and after 8 interviews and 2 tests, I went on vacation to Europe. When I was there the MD emailed me in order to have a call regarding the process. As I had no service on my personal number, I gave him my work number which worked in Europe but I normally never use.
We talked and he said he would contact me again soon and that went really well for me and I should wait regarding updates.
I came back from vacation and stopped paying that much attention to my work phone, today I occasionally checked the phone and realized that yesterday he sent me an SMS in order to have a chat. I didn't answer him for more than 24 hours because I haven't seen the SMS until after.
Right after I responded the SMS and sent an email indicating my personal number and apologizing for the delay in getting back to him and I offered him to have a call whenever he is available.
Now he has not gotten back to me. I also saw that they promoted again the job in LinkedIn I was applying for.
Is it very serious what happened or might he understand? Did I lose my chances of being hired?
I am really concerned because it seems to me that I was the last candidate and I fucked up big time.
Maybe bro. But if they really liked and they went through 8 interviews/2 tests, they wouldn't just ding you and go through the whole process again on new candidates. It really depends on how salty the MD is. Nothing you can do about it now. I would follow up again next week though

Nah you’re fine. I expect they just keep posting the job through hr and it’s not connected to you.
