Hello. Could you please tell me, is the phrase “Thank you, we’ll call you back” during an interview a real cringe? Because after that, there’s just silence and not once have they actually called...

The phrase “Thank you, we’ll call you back” can indeed feel frustrating, especially if it's followed by silence. While it’s often used as a polite way... to conclude an interview, it doesn't always lead to a follow-up. Here are a few points to consider:
1. Politeness,Many interviewers use this phrase to maintain professionalism and courtesy, even if they don't plan to follow up.
2. Standard Practice,It's common for companies to say they’ll reach out, regardless of their decision. Silence can be a sign of various factors, including internal processes or delays.
3. Rejection Indicator,While it can be interpreted as a polite rejection, it’s not definitive. Sometimes, the hiring process takes longer than expected.
4. Follow-Up, If you haven’t heard back in a week or two, it’s perfectly acceptable to send a polite follow-up email inquiring about your application status.
Overall, it’s best to keep your options open and continue exploring other opportunities while waiting more
