I had a phenomenal interview last Thursday. The interviewer brought up an additional role that I would be great at, and offered to send that, as well as the assignment to move onto the next step of the process. I completed the assignment, told them I was also open to the other opportunity as well. Was told they would follow up early this week. I emailed yesterday because I never heard anything. I guess this is what people talk about when they get ghosted?? It really sucks, I could see myself working there and being very happy.

It was only a week ago. I would give it another week before writing it off.

I think it's a little early to assume you've been ghosted. Sh*t happens - family emergencies, hiring team member on vacation, etc. If you don't hear from them by Monday or Tuesday, follow up again.

I’m curious. What types of assignments are these? Are they time consuming?

Hold off on any budding feelings that may teeter on the negative till next Monday. You would be surprised how disorganized some places can be when it come to the hiring process. Due to all of the people the recruiter has to get in touch with and the possibly being on vacation so having to wait for them to come back to approve and continue the process, etc.
Thats why a good rule of thumb when it comes to interviewing whether your experience is good or not. Is to to not get too attached, preferably at all so you can keep that hunger and ambition going to apply to the next prospective company that you land an interview with. Keep this in mind even when you continue going through the interview process. Until you get to the round of negotiating a salary and even THEN. still remain unattached to an extent until you see that offer letter. As anything can happen during that time.
Wish you the best as you continue to interview for the role and company that would be lucky to have you!

Think twice, if they ghost now and can't return an email?
check the complaints and lawsuits against the company, glassdoor and bbb, google. Vet the company they way they vet you! Give them a call as they called you, if no response 72 hours, move on. Time is money, and Just do you
