I had my final/panel interview for a corporate financial services role this past Tuesday. The interview lasted almost the full scheduled time (~50 mins), and at the end one of the interviewers mentioned they still had a few more interviews to complete and that HR/recruiting would likely follow up end of week or early next week.

By Friday morning I still hadn’t heard anything, so I sent a short follow-up email reiterating interest and asking if there were any updates on timing/next steps.

The recruiter replied this morning and said:
“I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that we are still considering you for the position. I will follow up with you as soon as I have additional information. I hope to know more regarding this position the week of May 26.”

What insight can you give me from this email? Is this positive, neutral, bad?

Additional context:
Initial recruiter screen went well
Advanced past hiring manager interview to final panel
Memorial Day weekend is also coming up

For people involved in hiring/recruiting at larger companies, how would you honestly interpret this email?

I had a second-round/panel interview Tuesday afternoon with a peer and a leader from a cross-functional team. The peer mentioned they still had a few more candidates to interview and that I’d likely hear back from the recruiter either end of week or early next week.
That said, I keep seeing people online say that if you don’t hear back within 48 hours, it usually means they’re moving forward with someone else. Curious what others’ experiences have been with timelines like this?

The peer said they had a few more candidates to interview and that I would hear back from the recruiter at the end of the week or early next week but from what I’ve read/heard online if you haven’t gotten an offer in 48 hours they’re probably passing you up. Thoughts?
