Hello,
I am based out at Tokyo. I work for a startup, as a software developer into telecom domain, with skill set of C/C++, Python, Ruby etc.
I decided to give my career a diversion by joining a Web full stack development position. So, I was interviewed for this successful startup which provides brilliant web services and APIs. Their first round was a set of programming exercises, which I did quite successfully.
Later I was invited for an interview with the CTO and the Chief Architect. In the interview, they confirmed my basic programming skills in Python, and I expressed my interest to join them as a full stack web development engineer. I also told them that I am fully aware that I am currently a System Developer, working very closely with C/C++, but I would like to be web developer. I thought that interview went average.
Later they reverted back to me saying..
-- The position is quite competitive
-- Might take them a few weeks to decide
-- Will let me know in one month.
My question to all the HR experts is, is this an "indirect" no ? If yes, then why did not they frankly said up front ?
Or, what chances do you think I hold for the offer? I need to decide, as I would consider interviewing other positions as well, although this one is a dream position.
