I’m relatively early in my career, and in all three cases when I got the job, I received an offer either during, at the end of, or a few hours after my final interview.

Mind you, all three occasions were between 2021 and 2024, when the job market felt much less competitive. But at a time when jobs receive thousands of applicants and the initial steps during recent applications go very fast, it feels unsettling not to hear anything back within two days or so.

Anyway, I had my final interview last Thursday, and it is now Tuesday. I think I ought to mentally write off the opportunity to hear any good news.
