MiamiMarlin's journey

I recently went through a lengthy interview process for a senior role at a tech company, which started on April 20th. A former colleague referred me, and I quickly got in touch with a recruiter. After an initial conversation, I was told I might be considered for a more senior position due to my experience. I had a series of interviews, including with the Hiring Manager and a senior director, and received positive feedback throughout. The last interview was on May 22nd, and I was told I would hear back soon. However, after a follow-up on May 28th, I learned I was a finalist but there were internal holds on extending offers. Things took a turn when I discovered on June 3rd that the recruiter I had been working with was laid off, along with other contingent recruiters. I reached out for an update and was assigned a new recruiter who promised to keep me in the loop. Since then, I've heard nothing. I'm left wondering if I'm being kept warm while they consider other candidates or if there are genuine delays.
