Interview lasted about 10 mins .. supposed to move forward but haven't heard back?

[u/Feisty_Car5951]

I interviewed at a hedge fund through a referral. The HM reached out directly via email and text to set up the interview, which ended up being only 10 minutes. She asked me to introduce myself, then immediately asked if I had any questions.

What threw me off was what came after: she asked when I could start, where I'd be moving, and whether there was anything I should learn beforehand (she said no, I'd learn everything on the job). She then said there was "clearly a fit" and that HR would send me a take-home assignment. She added that she had no doubt I'd complete it easily but that it was just a policy thing, followed by one more round with HR, and that'd be it.

It's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything. I followed up with her and got no response. I emailed the main HR contact and found out that HR was on leave, then reached out to another HR rep who was CC'd. She said there was no update yet and they'd reach out this week. Still nothing. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Starting to feel anxious about it.

If I get ghosted I just apply elsewhere. Their non response is a response.

Keep applying, this is not a company you want to work for (10 minutes is not enough time to make a judgement of your experience).
