    I recently had a positive onsite interview for a bioinformatics position at a major hospital in NYC. During the interview, I met with eight faculty members, including the department chair, and the conversations felt very collaborative. Some of the faculty even spoke in terms of 'when you start' rather than 'if,' which made me feel optimistic. However, it's been about two weeks since the interview, and I've received no updates. I sent a polite follow-up to HR a week ago and reached out to the hiring manager two days ago, but still no response. Before the onsite, they were very responsive, so this sudden silence is puzzling. I'm starting to wonder if I'm being ghosted or if this is just typical for academic hiring processes. I appreciate any insights on whether this kind of delay is normal.

    Feeling Thinking #

    I had a great first round interview with a large hospital in NYC, and they quickly moved me to an on-site interview where I met with about 8-9 different people. Everything seemed to go well, and I felt positive about my performance. However, it's now been 9 days since the on-site, and I'm starting to feel anxious. I followed up after 7 days but haven't received a response yet. The HR team was very prompt in their communications before, which adds to my concern. I know that 9 days isn't a long time in the hiring process, but I'm starting to wonder when I should really start worrying about the lack of communication.
