Wondering if it's looking good for me on getting called back for a job based on wording? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I had an interview 2 weeks ago as of me typing this, I followed up by email beginning of this week and got the following reply back

"MY NAME,

Thank you for reaching out,

We are still in the interview process and fielding other applicants. We will be in touch with you in the coming weeks.

Thank you,

INTERVIEWER"

I don't think I've ever heard "in the coming weeks", I just hoped I'm not fucked. I thought the interview went very well.

Who knows nowadays, i wouldn't hold your job search though. I would keep looking, if they get back to you, you may find something better in that time frame.

Edit: good luck

If that's the case 100% don't wait. You can't rely on these people.

Sadly true

No. Practically and helpfully true.

Your job right now is to recognize that your optimal move isn’t figuring out how well this application is going, but rather putting in more applications.

There is almost never a reason to stop applying. Knowing your odds on this job doesn’t really help. Sending out more applications does.
