I applied for a finance position a little over a month ago and went through a phone screen followed by two rounds of interviews. Everything felt positive, and the hiring manager even inquired about my notice period. The recruiter kept in touch, assuring me that I would hear back soon. After a few weeks, I followed up, and the recruiter mentioned she was meeting with the hiring manager the next day, promising to update me afterward. However, four days passed without any response, which made me feel like I was being ghosted. I decided to reach out one last time, hoping for feedback. I received a reply stating they hadn't concluded the interview process yet and appreciated my patience. This left me wondering if I was still being considered for the role. I’m confused about why the communication changed; initially, there was proactive outreach, but now I feel like I'm the one chasing for updates. This would be my first job change in 12 years, so I'm unsure how to interpret this situation.
