    Feeling Planning Thinking #

    I’m currently in a bit of a dilemma regarding my job search. I’ve been going through a lengthy hiring process with my top choice, Job A, for a couple of weeks now. I completed the final panel interview two weeks ago and was initially told I would hear back by last Tuesday. However, I just received an update that the decision has been pushed to either this week or next week, and I still haven’t heard anything. In the meantime, I received a verbal offer from Job B, but I haven’t received a firm written offer yet. I’m considering reaching out to Job A to let them know about the verbal offer from Job B to potentially speed up their decision-making process. I want to express my continued interest in Job A without coming off as too pushy or pressuring them. I’ve heard mixed advice on this. Some say it can be helpful to mention another opportunity to encourage a quicker response, while others warn it might backfire. I really want Job A to be my next role, so I’m hesitant to do anything that might jeopardize that chance. I just feel like the waiting is becoming too much, and I need to make a decision soon.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Thinking

    I had my final interview last Tuesday for a position at a well-known defense tech company, and I was told I would hear back by this Tuesday. Now it's Friday, and I still haven't received any communication. I went through a rigorous 7-stage interview process, and all three panel interviewers seemed positive about my fit for the role. In fact, they even adjusted the role mid-process to keep me in consideration, which felt like a good sign. After the final panel, I was optimistic. However, when Tuesday came and went without any news, I decided to follow up last Friday. The recruiter replied on Tuesday, saying they were still working through the process and that I should expect to hear something this week or next. Now it's Friday again, and I'm left in limbo with no rejection or offer. I'm starting to worry that they might have offered the position to someone else and are just waiting for that person's response before officially rejecting me. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did it turn out for you?
