I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

Final Round Interview

Hello,

At the end of my final round interview, the partner told me:" HR will contact you concerning the next steps". Does this mean that I will be getting a job offer or not really?

Hey there,

I would not interpret positively or negatively. Unfortunately, you will have to wait for HR to get back to you.

Fingers crossed that it works out!

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Sorry, this means absolutely nothing. They will say this regardless of the outcome.

I know it's hard, but sit tight and try not to think about it...que sera sera at this point!

Hard to tell. Just wait for HR to get in touch. 

Fingers crossed for you!

It means HR will contact you....thats it. There are no magic words after an interview that let you know whether you have made it or not.

Best,

Hi there,

I agree with the other comments – it doesn’t really have a meaning in terms of the outcome, may be either a pass or not.

Good luck!

I wouldn't read too much into this as it doesn't offer any insight into whether you made it through or not. The only thing you can really do is wait to hear back
