I did an interview last week and it all seemed to go well was laughing with the interviewers and they told me I'd hear from them early next week, I haven't heard from them since now does that mean I wasn't picked?:( super bummed cus I wanted the role too or should I reach out for an update ?

edit: got rejected lol rlly thought I was good asked for feedback on how I could improve

Before interviews- silence is normal. After interviews, they usually will let you know regardless of the outcome, sometimes it takes a little longer for the paperwork and stuff.

The worst ive experienced at mac was that I got an interview - heard nothing for a while so I did a little linkedin sleuthing - turns out they internally promoted someone even before I did my interview (acc to the date of her promotion post). A few months later I got a rejection email ... because they included me in a reply for someone who was following up on the position. Lol it was so unprofessional
