How do you all sit with radio silence after a "we'll circle back next week"?
Had a great final round, recruiter said next steps by end of week, that was ten days ago. Sent one polite follow-up, nothing back yet. Logically I know this happens constantly and probably isn't personal, but I keep refreshing my email like it'll change something. What actually helps you not spiral during this part?

AnonymousAnon Following up because this happened to me too, and I ended up getting the role a full three weeks after "circling back." Company processes are just slow sometimes, not necessarily bad news.

AnonymousAnon Ten days isn't unusual unfortunately, internal approvals move slower than recruiters want them to half the time. Doesn't make the waiting easier though.

AnonymousAnon I try to treat "we'll circle back" as a soft no until proven otherwise, keeps me from spiraling while still applying elsewhere in the meantime.
