Had my 1st formal interview (on March 17th after passing a Phone Screening (they said there’d be 1-2 formal interviews before an offer is made). Director of the department who interviewed me said it could take a few days to a week.

A week went by and I emailed the recruiter to check in and she said “I’m hoping to hear back in the next week or so, just pending an update from the team. Will be in touch!” A week went by and I checked in again and she just said there weren’t any updates yet and was just hoping to hear back from the team soon. That was this Monday, another week as practically gone by.

Am I out of the running and are hoping to lock down someone else or what’s going on for them to have such a long delay?

If it helps, this is a corporate job at a Big 5 Entertainment company.
