Had interviews a few weeks ago. In middle of interview, would-be boss told me he wanted me to fly out for the final interviews within two weeks. Booked flight (paid for by company), and had final interviews last week. At that time, would-be boss said he expected to be able to call me by this past Monday with final decision. I had told the boss that i was considering 1-2 other offers and wanted to make a decision by the end of the following week. No word on Monday. I emailed on Tuesday - no response. Today, rec'd a response that he will make a decision by this Friday. At no point has the would-be boss asked about my comp requirements/expectations.

My thought is that they have offered the job to someone else and i'm the backup choice. Hence why they havent asked about my comp requirements and why they are saying that they "expect to make a decision by Friday." The language in the email wasnt suggestive that the offer would be made to me, and I was one of 3 people brought in for final round interviews. Thoughts? Seems weird to be this far down the path for a job that would pay 300k+ for the company to not clarify my expectations to make sure we're on the same page.

If people agree that the offer is very likely not going to me, then I may withdraw my app today to save face here.

Yeah they seem to see you as being one of the final few candidates who they believe can all do the work, with there not being much separation between yourself and the rest who also made it this far. They also seem to think you would be a good fit within their company culture and managerial structure and goals. Now they're pursuing the one (other candidate first) who they believe will do the work for the smallest salary, but if this other person makes a wrong move or prices himself out of consideration, you will be ready to swoop in and rescue their situation but only if you haven't yet fucked up yours by acting rashly, so calm down and play this cool like someone they'll want on their team.

Is this just an administrative / bureaucratic holdup? Or is there another candidate you have in front of me you're waiting to hear back from?

i bet im 2nd. 3 people were brought in for final round interviews. i think they've already offered the job to the 1st preference, who has asked until Monday to get back to them. Hence why i'm being pushed back. But again - why schedule a call if you're likely going to let me go? May as well communicate "good news" via email and then set up a call to discuss in detail if the spot is indeed still open.

Just show up at the office Monday and stop beating around the bush. More back-and-forth communication at this point is just going to confuse things and could lead to a bad outcome

Safe to say that they’ve gone another direction, right? Why should I not email now and withdraw my interest for the position? I’m not even interested in this gig anymore - too many games.
