  • One more week....

    hmm... well, that's what they said last week.  And today, they told me again... that they haven't made a decision, but they will surely let me know by end of next week.     I don't get it.  I mean, I guess it's a good sign, that they haven't just come out point blank and said... no, we regret at this time... blah blah blah...

     

    So here I am... on what seems to be an endless wait. 

     

    This is how it unfolded. 

    After my so-called last interview, for the mannager that was out of the country on July 24-- I was told that they would have a decision for me by early next week. 

    I said:  ok ---great.  Look forward to hearing from ya!

    Monday whizzes by... so does Tuesday.   No email.. no phone call.  So of course, Wednesday noon, I call to follow up. 

    They said: No decision yet, managers meeting tomorrow (Thursday), so they will have answer for me... For Sure.. by Friday afternoon. 

    I said:  Great, looking forward to hearing from ya.

    Same day night time:

    Email from them--- another manager would like to meet me.  Could I drop by again on Friday for half an hour? 

    I said:  Of course-- I'll be there.

    Note** this is the 13th manager that I have interviewed with for this company alone!

    After the interview, they told me, we'll let you know end of next week since there are still some recruiting activities going on. 

    I said:  Ok, look forward to hearing from you next week. 

    Tic-toc Tic-toc....

    Today, Wednesday noon--- I called to follow up.

    They said: [Same story.]  Managers will meet tomorrow, will have a decision by Friday. 

    I said: Great! Look forward to hearing from you.

    Same day-- afternoon. 

    They said:  Moshi moshi-- Lin-san, gomen ne, I just sent you an email that might make you a little bit sad....

    I said:           

    They said: The last manager that I spoke with is still moving people around and still has to figure out a couple more things.. and they won't have a decision till end of next week...

     

    I wanted to say:  -------->        ---------->  

     

    but instead I said:  Ok, sure, just let me know.  Look forward to hearing from you next week.

     

    -------

     

    Is this normal for IB recruiting? I don't understand... it's been over a month since the first interview.. I've sooo patient.. aye...

     

    Wish me luck. 

     

    Until next week...
