Hi all, I applied for and went through two interview rounds, including the last one in person, which I understood to be the final round about three weeks ago. In that conversation, they had said they were 'hoping to move quickly, but it is still the state government and needs to go through HR and they hope to make decisions in about a week'. Since then, I have not heard anything at all. I followed up shortly after with a thank you email and then a continued interest email this week. It would be surprising to me to be ghosted by the state for a role, but this is my first time applying here. Any insights on whether this is normal or at what point I should cut my losses?
