Am I getting an offer?
Hi Everyone! I just wanted to post my story on here and see what the likely outcome is based on someone else's perspective.
I interviewed for a position at my current job, it was a straight lateral move. Same job title, same salary ... just a different department in a different building. Prior to the interview, I had a colleague of mine reach out to me and informed me he spoke with the hiring manager. He stated he advocated for me but didn't go into detail on what he said.
I interviewed with only the hiring manager on December 10th and I would say it went well. It was definitely a different type of interview. He didn't ask any scenario questions or any engineering concepts .... he just walked through my resume. It was simply an open discussion about my accomplishments and the responsibilities for this role. He also stated that he's only going to be interviewing internal candidates.
Since then I haven't heard anything from him or the recruiter. I followed up with them both individual. Only the recruiter got back to me and stated there aren't any definitive updates but he will keep me posted once there is something. I also reached out to my colleague, just about projects, and he still hasn't gotten back to me either.
Based on this situation, should I be anticipating an offer or a rejection?
