You can't keep waiting for an answer that may come up or not, you need to take action, and this in general. I clearly can't see why it would be impolite or why would I like to work with people that believe that asking for information/clarification for a life-changing process is rude. Ask them for feedback, state the delay and that you have another offer so you would like to make a decision based on the complete information. Good luck. | |

| Oct 7, 2021 at 15:00 | comment | added | jwh20 | It's really bad form on the company's part to leave you hanging for 45 days without a reply one way or the other. I'd assume that they have no interest and they are likely not a good employer either because they didn't even have the courtesy to say, "thanks but no thanks". Move on to one of the companies that did offer you a position. | |
