I interviewed with the hiring manager, and interview panel. I also reviewed comp and benefits with the recruiter. What’s the typical next step before getting an offer? Should I keep applying and interviewing? Thanks!

From my experiences, I found that every company has a hiring process. I usually ask, after the interview, what is the next step in the hiring process? Usually they will say, we have more candidates to interview and we should be making a decision within the next days or weeks. I also send a thank you note immediately.... after the interview to everyone who was in attendance. I never stop applying or interviewing with other companies.

Like the prior post, I suggest starting with a thank you note. After 2 weeks a follow up status check with the company that you interviewed with would be sent. Continue to apply and interview with other opportunities until you get a written offer. Note to repeat the thank you / 2 week follow up with each company you wish to follow up. If the company you interviewed with was not good, you may send a thank you for the interview but you do not need to do the 2 week follow up (probably do not want to work there).

Always keep applying and interviewing. This job is not yet guaranteed. Plus, you never know what is out there. Could be something even better.

Yes, there is no one answer. It depends on the company's internal approval process.

Yes, keep interviewing! I've been in a few situations that I thought the offer was a sure thing based on verbal promises, only for the company to never extend the official offer. Keep interviewing.

Thank you all! All my eggs are in this one basket after applying to jobs all year and it’s taking so much to not lose hope. Applying for jobs at this level (director, VP) hasn’t been easy at all…..

I just accepted a great offer after months of applying - yeah for me! But I continued to apply during the waiting period to keep my sanity - I really thought this was an excellent fit but didn't want to set myself up for disappointment so continued with job hunting as usual.
