Im in a pickle, I applied for the position of editor for humanities at this legacy publishing house encouraged by an editor there, i travelled to another city to give the editorial test which was on 11th of february they said they would get back to me inbetween 4-6 weeks on 11th of march i followed up and they replied in an hour telling me that the evaluation is still in process and takes 3-4 weeks.

I followed up again on 7th of march and they replied the next day saying i know its taking longer than expected but the evaluation is still in process. The same day in an hour a deputy editor for maths at this same publishing house viewed my linkedin and the next day the company posted a job opening for a maths editor.

I have no idea what is going on and whats taking them so long to reach to a conclusion pls let me know what you all think.
