I completed the final interview loop for an E4 Infrastructure role on March 24, 2026. The recruiting manager told me that I performed very well in the interviews and that the role is exempt from the current hiring pause. He also mentioned that an exemption request had been submitted for my hire on march 31st 2026

However, it has now been 5+ weeks, and I’m feeling quite confused about the situation. Has anyone else experienced or is currently experiencing something similar? My recruiter is responsive and continues to tell me that the exemption request is still active but has not yet been approved and it just takes time!!
