Genuinely the most frustrating experience ever. Had my last (3rd) interview last Wednesday, thought it went okay. Yesterday the recruiter/HR emailed me saying the hiring manager is meeting with his boss later in the day, so she hopes to have an update about my application “shortly”. It has now been almost 2 business days, and still nothing. I already suspect this is a rejection, but I do not understand why recruiters use verbiage like this to give you hope, just to disappear. It’s insane
