Ghosted by HR?

Hey everyone,

Wanted thoughts on my situation and to see if I’m overreacting prematurely. So I’ve been in the process at a bank to lateral (better coverage group, analyst, and city).

There are a total of 5 rounds of interviews. The first three I passed and the 4th was a case study I submitted a week and a half ago. I followed up with HR a few days back on the status and have been ghosted (thus far). I really though I knocked the case study out of the park and everyone I spoke with seemed to really like me. HR has not gotten back to be a about the status of how my case study went (good/bad/pending).

I have kind of assumed I’ve been dinged, but still have a bit of hope. Is this false hope? Do they typically let candidates know either way (good or bad)? Don’t want to seem desperate and send two emails.
