Was just curious about anyone's experiences with hiring/recruiting during December for analyst roles. Had final round interviews this December for several firms (allocators and Developers) and was wondering if it's just a factor of the Holidays making offer decisions slower, or if I should just cut my losses and move on.
Appreciate anyone's experiences (if any).

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for the hiring process to slow down during the holiday season. Many firms experience a lull in activity as key decision-makers take time off, which can delay offer decisions. Here are a few points to consider:
Remember, patience is key during this time. It's not necessarily a sign to move on, but rather to wait it out a bit longer while also keeping your options open.

Yes nothing happens from mid December until the 2nd week of January. I wouldn’t write off the position if you don’t hear anything until the end of January.
especially if it is a position for starting after graduation in may, no one will feel any obligation to hurry.
Been getting tons of interviews cut mid process due to the positions not being available, so been very antsy. Really appreciate the response.
