MiamiMarlin's journey

I recently went through a lengthy interview process for a role at a tech company, and I'm feeling uncertain about where I stand. I was referred by a former colleague and started the process on April 20th. After an initial conversation with a recruiter, I had several interviews, including one with the Hiring Manager who hinted at considering me for a more senior role due to my experience. I completed multiple rounds, including a case study, and received positive feedback throughout. However, after my final interview on May 22nd, things started to slow down. The recruiter mentioned that I was a finalist, but there were internal holds on extending offers, which was concerning. On June 3rd, I discovered that my recruiter had been laid off, along with others in the recruiting team, which added to my anxiety. A new recruiter reached out on June 4th, but since then, I haven't received any updates. I'm left wondering if I'm being kept warm while they consider other candidates or if there are indeed delays on their end. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions, and I'm seeking some clarity on my situation.
