I reached the final stages of a process (Tier-2) , including a final partner round, followed by a fit interview, and a conversation about salary and start date. After that, the process has been completely silent for close to 3 weeks, no offer, no rejection, no acknowledgment, despite sending an email follow up after 2 weeks with no answer.
Are tier-2 firms known for ghosting final candidates after a process that went well into a 3+ month span of interviews/challenges?
