What does this mean?

Final round on Oct. 27

Sent email today for follow up today and this is the response:

“Thank you for following up.

You will be receiving communication by next week.”

I am on pin and needles and not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

Thoughts?

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the progress in the application process thus far!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, it is normal to feel anxious at this stage, but the response you received is standard procedure. It indicates that they are taking the necessary time to make their decision.
  • Moreover, I would advise you to use this time to prepare for any outcome and to apply to other consulting firms.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there - it’s neither.

All you need to do is manage the nerves and wait :)

Hi there,

it means that they will provide you with official feedback and/or next steps by next week. You just have to wait for that now and there is no need to follow up anymore until then.

Best of luck

Hi there,

This is a neutral message. 

Not sure about the context (office, position, hiring cycle) but this generally means that they have not reached a decision because interviewers have not discussed your case yet or they are waiting for other candidates.

Fingers crossed,

Florian

Hey there, 

As it says, it's just a waiting game now... 

Totally understandable to be anxious... but also not healthy to speculate :-) 

Good job on following up! Now let's hope for the best

I had a final round interview for a manager role at a tier 2 company. HR said feedback was positive but they’d assess other candidates too. It’s been 10 days with no update. Is this normal or should I take it as a silent rejection and move on?
