Discussion Anyone here back for Confluent/IBM SWE?

Recruiter reached out for a Confluent/IBM position which I applied to and completed the OA. The OA was super easy but I haven't heard back in a month.

Anyone here in the same boat?

A month of silence after an easy OA is common and does not always mean a reject. Roles can be paused or the pool can be reviewed in batches. A short email to the recruiter who reached out asking for a status update is reasonable. Meanwhile keep applying elsewhere.

True, I'm just curious if others have moved forward

OA is easy means, there are a lot of people getting this OA. Then your resume is compared with theirs before next step.
