I had an interview 2 weeks ago as of me typing this, I followed up by email beginning of this week and got the following reply back
"MY NAME,
Thank you for reaching out,
We are still in the interview process and fielding other applicants. We will be in touch with you in the coming weeks.
Thank you,
INTERVIEWER"
I don't think I've ever heard "in the coming weeks", I just hoped I'm not fucked. I thought the interview went very well.

Who knows nowadays, i wouldn't hold your job search though. I would keep looking, if they get back to you, you may find something better in that time frame.
Edit: good luck

If that's the case 100% don't wait. You can't rely on these people.

Sadly true

No. Practically and helpfully true.
Your job right now is to recognize that your optimal move isnât figuring out how well this application is going, but rather putting in more applications.
There is almost never a reason to stop applying. Knowing your odds on this job doesnât really help. Sending out more applications does.

This could be as innocent as âhiring manager was on vacation and we still have some interviews plannedâ or âour interviewer was caught fornicating with a chicken and weâve had to make some internal changesâ.
I would take it as a positive sign that youâre still in the running, but like others have said, I wouldnât pause my other job searching tasks to wait for this one to play out.

No way to know. All it tells you is that they probably havenât discarded your application, which is certainly encouraging, but I wouldnât read too much more into it than that.

Could be a case of them interviewing a lot of people. Keep in mind a lot of people go on vacation this time of year and depending on the company/industry it could also mean this is peak season for them. I wouldn't look too much into it.
Best of luck, hope you get it.

It means you're still in consideration.
I know when I've hired in the past, if I like the first person I interview I still try to interview at least one more person so I actually have a choice. If I don't like someone I'll immediately let them know.
