Fiscal nomad it's legal. -
Always an excuse with this wunch. It was holiday period. Then they had a meeting Tuesday with everyone back from holiday. Decision expected Tuesday. Then it was "looking positive" and with one guy for a final decision.
Agency can't get hold of anyone. No one returning his calls.
It boggles my mind how any human being can be so utterly disrespectful to his fellow man. At the end of the day we're only trying to feed our families.
Why drag it on for months and months?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem
The basic form of the problem is the following: imagine an administrator willing to hire the best secretary out of n rankable applicants for a position. The applicants are interviewed one by one in random order. A decision about each particular applicant is to be made immediately after the interview. Once rejected, an applicant cannot be recalled. During the interview, the administrator can rank the applicant among all applicants interviewed so far, but is unaware of the quality of yet unseen applicants. The question is about the optimal strategy (stopping rule) to maximize the probability of selecting the best applicant.
....
The problem has an elegant solution. The optimal stopping rule prescribes always rejecting the first n/e applicants after the interview (where e is the base of the natural logarithm) and then stopping at the first applicant who is better than every applicant interviewed so far (or continuing to the last applicant if this never occurs).
