Went to final round 2 weeks ago for an internship at pretty decent company. Did great, connected with manager and interviewers well, and got connected on linkedin. Recruiter lets me know that there’s 2 candidates in final round including me, and that the team was very impressed with me.
Skip to a week later when i should be hearing back, and no response. I ask my recruiter, who says the meeting got delayed to friday. Come Friday theres no response, so i ask again on tuesday, and she lets me know that they had a “last minute candidate” and they are delaying the decision until this person’s interview, which is tomorrow.
So now im like what?? They closed the application weeks ago, and when i was scheduling my final round in december they said they wanted it in early january and the position filled mid January, but all of a sudden theres an additional candidate in the mix? My only explanation is a nepotism referral, and in that case im probably cooked. 2 months of interviews for nothing😭👍
