How long was your lateral process ?

One question: the final round was with VP and MD. VP was the one who asked most questions and said liked me a lot, but they could only hire 1 person, so don't feed bad if I don't get hired. Does that mean anything?

A few HHs told me it can be slow AF. Finished an analyst lateral process with HSBC/Macquarie/BNP recently. The process took about 3 weeks in total. Have been waiting for a response for 3 weeks. I applied online. Going through a couple of other processes with HHs. Not many real deals.

A friend of mine recruiting for an MBA Associate position said she even waited 2 months for a ducking interview.

how about your experience ?
