I have been in healthcare management for many years.

I have been in healthcare management for many years. Since working through COVID, I decided I no longer want to manage employees or continue working with patients. I decided to pursue my ultimate goal and become a Sales Representative. The timing was wrong in the past due to having a younger child and not wanting to be far from home. My child has graduated from college and lives out of town, so now the timing is perfect. I opened my Linkedin to Recruiters Only and was contacted almost immediately. The contacting recruiter works for the company that is my first choice company to be employed by. I prefer this company because I am very familiar with the product and company. I also know the hiring manager and most of the team, due to my current account which happens to be in the territory I would be working. Before scheduling my first interview, the recruiter contacted me and stated the hiring manager would like everything to remain confidential due to my account being a "large door" in the territory. My first interview with the hiring manager seemed to go well. The hiring manager told me the next step is usually to have the candidate speak with a few team members, but in this unique situation since I know most of the team and hiring manager. I will be interviewing with two of the hiring manager's counterparts in neighboring states. The recruiter immediately scheduled my second and third interviews. I feel like interview #2 was mediocre. I felt like the interviewer was constantly testing me, trying to talk me out of the position, and schooling me on interviewing. He made me nervous, which is not easy to do. He asked me about my current employment: who takes care of making money decisions? I answered, I do. Who takes care of all buying decisions? I answered, I do. Then he asked Is your current office aware you are looking for a job? I answered, no. How will your current employer feel about Company X if you leave to work for Company X, will they drop the account? I explained the owners do not get involved in buying decisions and will not drop the account. I feel interview #3 went great. I mentioned that I was getting the feeling I may not get the position due to my current account being such a "large door" in the territory. The interviewer told me "in the end, you need to think about yourself and not worry about the current account" At the end of the interview, I asked what are the next steps? He told me he would call the hiring manager in a few minutes. He explained I should wait for the hiring manager or recruiter to contact me. He also told me that I may contact him with any questions at any time. I don't want to be a bother to him because I would not be working in his territory. Two weeks passed and I did not hear from anyone. Since I know the hiring manager, I sent a follow-up/thank you email. I was thankful for such compelling interviews and appreciated the advice from interviewer #2 and was very excited to be considered for the position and know I would be a good fit after speaking to interviewer #3. The hiring manager responded by thanking me for reaching out and explained they are still interviewing and making some changes in territory alignments. "Once that is complete, we’ll let you know". The recruiter was cc'd on this email response to me. Since the recruiter initially contacted me, the territory has lost two more team members, and they now have three vacancies. I do believe they are realigning to be able to hire two instead of three team members. I know they have not hired anyone yet, because once they do, they will contact me via my account at my current job. It has now been another two weeks and I still have not had a response. Do I continue to follow up with the recruiter or hiring manager? Or should I sit and be patient and wait?
