Hi there,

It has only been 1 week - give it time!

You either passed or you did not…you'll know once they email/call you.

I know you'd love clarity here, but honestly, we don't know and you won't know until you do! Nothing to read into here - if they are interviewing other candidates there will definitely be a delay.

Yes to applying elsewhere in the meantime!

Hi there,

Q: I did a final round interview with an in-house consulting position. I sent a follow-up email with HR on Monday and still have no response. Is that a low-key no offer? 

The delay doesn't necessarily mean you have been rejected. There could be multiple reasons why the interviewers have not decided yet, unrelated to your performance. I helped a few candidates who got an offer after one week.

The time to hear back also depends on the region and company. In the Middle East, for example, some companies tend to be quite slow to communicate results also in case of a positive outcome.

Good luck!

Francesco

Hi!

Honestly, you sound a bit impatient. 

It's totally normal for them to take 1-2 weeks after the interview to get back to you. 

It doesn't reflect badly on you, it just means they need this time. So I would recommend that, yes, you should apply for other jobs to diversify your risk, but don't assume that this one is out. 

Good luck!
Cristian
