I applied for a remote, salaried position in my field about a month and a half ago and have been navigating the hiring process since then. Here's a detailed timeline of my experience: - **08/29:** I submitted my application. - **09/16:** I received an email inviting me for a 30-minute video interview to discuss my background and fit for the team. - **09/18:** I had the interview with three people: the direct supervisor, HR director, and lead coordinator. I felt it went well. They brought up salary without me prompting and asked if I’d be comfortable with the compensation, considering it was an entry-level role despite my master’s degree. They mentioned I should hear back by the following Friday. - **09/18:** I sent a thank-you email after the interview, and they replied saying they’d be circling back. - **09/25:** I noticed that the company’s CEO viewed my LinkedIn profile, which I found encouraging. - **09/28:** I followed up with an email asking for updates on the hiring process. - **09/29:** They responded, explaining that they were also filling another position and that the hiring process was slower than expected. They assured me they would keep me posted. Both positions were still listed on their website at that time. - **09/29:** I replied, thanking them for the update. - **10/01:** I saw that both job postings were removed from LinkedIn but remained on the company’s website. - **10/19 (Today):** I still haven’t received any further updates, and both positions are still listed on the company website. I’m feeling uncertain about whether this timeline is normal for a remote, salaried position, especially since it’s been over seven weeks since I applied and about a month since my interview. I’m also curious if the fact that they brought up salary and acknowledged my educational background is a positive sign or just standard practice. Additionally, I’m wondering if the CEO viewing my LinkedIn profile means anything significant. The removal of the job postings from LinkedIn has me questioning whether they are narrowing down candidates or if they simply expired. I’m contemplating whether it would be appropriate to send another follow-up email or if I should just wait it out. I remain actively applying and interviewing elsewhere, but this role is one I’m genuinely interested in. I would appreciate insights from anyone who has been through a similar experience or has advice on navigating this waiting period.
