Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for firms, especially REITs, to take some time after final round interviews to make decisions. Delays can happen due to internal discussions, scheduling conflicts, or other priorities. For example, in one thread, a recruiter mentioned that decision meetings were pushed, which left candidates waiting longer than expected.

While silence can be nerve-wracking, it doesn't necessarily mean you're out of the running. Firms may still be finalizing their decisions or waiting for other candidates to respond to offers. However, if it's been a week since your interview, it might be a good idea to send a polite follow-up email to express your continued interest and inquire about the timeline for a decision.

Stay optimistic but prepared for any outcome!
