Waiting over two months for a response is unusual, especially when HR isn’t particularly busy. They might not be extending an offer for various reasons. According to Glassdoor, some candidates have been rejected due to factors like a renovation loan, and I personally experienced radio silence, possibly due to unrelated health concerns—which is unfair given it has no bearing on the role I applied for.

For PSA, stop giving false hope and making candidates wait endlessly, expecting them to follow up for an offer letter. Please make decisions wisely on your end, or at least provide a follow-up response. We are all human trying to make a living out of ourselves and putting rice on the table. SO be HUMAN.
